Cerritos Annulment Lawyer

CONDITIONS FOR ANNULMENT

A divorce or annulment can be a very personal, emotional process, especially when children are involved. Unfortunately, not every marriage can qualify for an annulment in California.  Your marriage must meet one of these eight conditions to qualify for annulment in the State of California:

1. The marriage was forced rather than voluntary.

2. The marriage was bigamous because one partner was already married to another person.

3. The wedding was incestuous because the partners were blood-related.

4. The wedding was fraudulent, such as a marriage exclusively to receive a green card.

5. One spouse was not yet 18 years old when the marriage took place.

6. One spouse was not “of sound mind” when the marriage took place.

7. One spouse cannot consummate the marriage and the ailment appears incurable.

8. A former spouse missing five or more years or assumed to be dead returns.
