Fremont Marriage Annulment Attorney
Union City Divorce Alternative Lawyer
An annulment in California is different from a marriage dissolution, or divorce. A marriage annulment petition (also known as a nullity action) claims that a valid marriage never existed. Contact a Fremont marriage annulment attorney.
If you have discovered something new that is essential to the marriage and to who your spouse is that you didn't know about, it may be possible to get a marriage annulment. Even if you only discover it several years after the wedding, annulment may be possible.
Grounds for Annulment
For example, if you discover that your spouse has a child from another marriage, or a venereal disease, this may provide a basis. If your spouse is truly someone different than they held themselves out to be, this may be grounds for marriage annulment. You are essentially alleging fraud on the part of your spouse.
Your marriage may be "void" or "voidable." A void marriage is one that is illegal in California. For example, if your spouse was already married, your marriage is void. A marriage can be voidable based on facts such as those above.
