Can alimony be awarded in an annulment?

Yes, alimony can be awarded in an annulment in Oregon. Annulment is a legal process where a marriage is declared void, as if it never happened. In Oregon, an annulment is granted when the marriage is void from the start, meaning it was never legally binding. When a marriage is annulled, the court may still award alimony under the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS 107.105) if the parties were married for at least two years and one party is financially dependent on the other. In Oregon, the court considers a variety of factors when determining alimony, including the spouses’ income, length of marriage, and whether one spouse sacrificed their career or education goals due to the marriage. In order to receive alimony in an annulment, the spouse must be able to prove that the other spouse was financially dependent on them. The court will also consider whether one spouse made a “substantial contribution” to the other spouse’s welfare or property. If these criteria are met, then alimony may be awarded in an annulment in Oregon.
