San Diego Annulment Attorney

Do you need a San Diego annulment lawyer? San Diego divorce lawyers Kraffert and Shaffer can help. An annulment (also called "nullity of domestic partnership" or "nullity of marriage") is when a court decides that your marriage is null and “void” (can never be legally recognized as a marriage in the state of California, such as a marriage involving a spouse who is already legally married at the time of the union) or “voidable” (declared void by court decree). There are several specific conditions for which grounds for an annulment may be granted:

• Bigamy
• Marriage to a relative (incest)
• Underage Spouse
• Coercion
• Fraud
• Mental/Physical Incapacity

Annulments have to be granted by a judge. Once a marriage is annulled it means that the marriage never existed.

Annulments Resulting From Fraud

Entering into a marriage deceitfully is grounds for an annulment. One example of fraud is when sterility or pregnancy that was not known prior to the marriage is discovered after the ceremony. Denying sexual relationships or an unwillingness to have children when that was previously promised is also a form of fraud. In addition, a fraudulent marriage, entered in order for someone from another country to secure a green card, can be annulled. Discovering a past criminal record or fugitive status could also lead to an annulment of the marriage.
