Civil Annulments
There are many instances in which a couple that recently got married regrets the decision. The immediate thought in these situations is often to get an annulment. But while this may be a good decision depending on the circumstances, it is a misconception that an annulment is easier to get than a divorce and should always be the first plan of action in the case of an unwanted marriage.
In order to get an annulment, there are certain criteria that must be met. A marriage with a short duration is not sufficient grounds for an annulment. If you are interested in getting an annulment, contact the Conroe divorce lawyers of Garg & Associates, P.C. at 281-362-2865 today.
Grounds for an Annulment
There is typically a time limit on annulments, so they must be applied for fairly soon after a marriage takes place. Before an annulment is applied for, the couple must have evidence of grounds for an annulment that meets the standards of the state in which they are filing. Common grounds for civil annulments include:
- Bigamy
- Incest
- Fraud
- Insanity
- Mental disability
- Impotence
- One or both parties under legal age of consent
- Marriage not consummated
- Incompetence
- Duress
- Misunderstanding
- Concealment
- Incapacity due to drugs or alcohol
If you are considering filing for an annulment, make sure you are aware of the requirements, advantages, and disadvantages before doing so.
