California Annulment Laws

Under California law, specific requirements must be met prior to a court nullifying a marriage. Irvine annulment attorney Amy Neshanian can explain these requirements in greater detail.

In general, the following will suffice to obtain an annulment:

• At least one party was not old enough to legally enter into marriage and a parent, guardian, or judge did not provide consent to the marriage.
• The parties to the marriage are close blood relatives (incest).
• An incurable inability to physically consummate the marriage exists.
• The marriage took place while one individual was still married to a previous spouse (bigamy).
• One individual is found to have been of unsound mind at the time the marriage took place, and they could not understand their actions.
• The marriage took place due to fraud or duress (force).

In situations wherein marriages were either incestuous or bigamous, they were never legally valid and will therefore be voided by the court. The remaining prerequisites are considered voidable, and it may be more difficult to obtain an annulment due to issues of proof.

As a result, it is imperative that you retain a highly experienced annulment attorney who possesses the knowledge necessary to successfully obtain an annulment on your behalf.
