For Advice and Assistance With Annulment in New York
Contact an Albany Family Law Attorney
In generations past, annulment may have often avoided certain stigmas associated with divorce. In today's world, most people are less concerned about such personal matters.
However, there are still times when people seek annulment instead of divorce, such as the following:
- Force, duress: Was there actual or threatened violence? Was consent to the marriage obtained by force?
- Religious reasons: Some families and individuals strongly object to divorce on moral grounds, and will go to great lengths to avoid being labeled "divorced."
- Bigamy: The party who discovers that the other was still married to someone else may seek to have the courts confirm that the marriage was null and void from the beginning
- Consent: One party may not have been able to consent due to age.
- Fraud: One party asserts that the other intentionally did not disclose that he or she was gay — or did not disclose other key information material to the marriage such as unwillingness to have children or falsification of religious affiliation which would have otherwise led the defrauded party not to have entered into the marriage.
