Can I get an annulment?

Yes, you may be able to get an annulment in California. An annulment is a court action that legally cancels a marriage. In California, grounds for annulment include mental illness, incest, bigamy, and fraud. Before you can file for an annulment, you must be able to prove that you meet one of these grounds. If you can do this, you can start your annulment action in court. In some cases, you may be able to get a simplified procedure that does not require a full court hearing. If you and your partner agree to the annulment, you will need to fill out forms and attend the court hearing. However, if your partner does not agree with the annulment, you will need to prove to the court that one of the grounds for annulment applies. Your divorce attorney can help you with the process of obtaining an annulment, as well as help you to present your case in court. Additionally, if there are any children from the marriage, you will also need to decide how to handle custody and support. Your annulment will be finalized after the court enters a judgment of annulment. Once that judgment is in place, the court considers the relationship void as if it was never legally valid.
