Can I get an annulment?
In Hawaii, a person can get an annulment if their marriage is deemed invalid or void. Annulments are generally granted if one of the spouses was under the age of consent, was not of sound mind, was already married, or the marriage was fraudulently induced. In order to get an annulment, it must be proven that the marriage was void. This includes proving that the marriage was never valid and that there was never any agreement between the two parties. The parties must show evidence that the marriage was made illegal, such as if there was a lack of consent due to age. Furthermore, the parties must show that the marriage was not consummated, or that the consummation was invalidated due to fraud, force, or physical incapacity. In order to get an annulment, the parties must prove that the marriage was void from the beginning. The annulment process must also be completed within one year of the date of the marriage. If the annulment is granted, it will mean that the marriage never existed and it will be as if the marriage never happened. Getting an annulment in Hawaii is not a simple process and a lot of evidence must be provided in order to prove that the marriage was never valid in the first place. If the parties can do this, they may be able to get an annulment and move on with their lives.
