Charlotte County Marriage Annulment Lawyer
When two people marry, they must abide by specific laws pertaining to marriage. When they fail to acknowledge these laws or are just not aware of the existence of these laws, and they enter into a marriage, then the marriage may be declared null and void by the family law courts. The legal procedure to do this is called an annulment. When a marriage is annulled, in the eyes of the law, the marriage never existed and is considered invalid.
Reasons for annulment in the state of Florida include:
- Fraud/Duress/Coercion
- Lack of consent
- Deception to obtain consent to marry
- Religious reasons
- Consanguinity/Incest/Related by blood
- Underage
- Pre-existing marriage
- Intoxication
- Insanity
- Physical incapacity
- No intentions of remaining faithful
- Abduction or kidnapping with intent of forcing marriage
- Failure to adhere to “Canon Law”
- Murder of previous existing spouse to marry
- Adultery with special circumstances, that includes murder
When a Marriage is Considered Null & Void
Annulments are very scarce in the state of Florida, but they do take place. A family law attorney must show proof that a marriage is in fact void. Proving this can be very difficult and will require the skill of an experienced Punta Gorda annulment lawyer. At the Fritsch Law Firm, we have obtained many annulments with ease, as we are very familiar with Florida case laws (annulments are not defined by statutes in Florida) and the rules that pertain to marriage.
