At Marilyn Smith Law APC, we are here to listen to your concerns and help you explore your options.

Grounds for Annulment in California: What You Need to Know

An annulment is essentially a cancellation of a marriage on the grounds that it was never valid. A divorce, on the other hand, is a legal dissolution of a valid marriage. Once an annulment is granted, the marriage is erased from the record as though it never occurred.

In order to obtain an annulment, we will have to explain the valid reason(s) that you are seeking one and why an annulment is a more appropriate solution than another form of marriage dissolution.

You may be eligible for annulment if:

• One or more people were of unsound mind at the time of the marriage
• The marriage took place by force or coercion
• There was any type of deception or fraud involved
• One person was under the age of 18
• One party has a permanent inability to consummate
• One party was already married
