San Jose Nullity Lawyer
When a couple decides to file for divorce, they do so to legally dissolve all bonds of marriage. However, when a couple wants to pursue an annulment, they are establishing that the marriage never actually existed in the eyes of the law, returning both individuals back to his or her life before the marriage occurred.

Nullity Requirements
Many people believe the length of the marriage is the only factor in determining whether or not a couple is eligible for an annulment, but this not the case. Annulments can only be granted for specific reasons including:
- The partners were closely related by blood
- One of the partners could not consummate the marriage
- One or both partners were mentally incapacitated from drugs or alcohol at the time the marriage took place
- At least one partner is too mentally unstable to make the decision
- One partner concealed information such as criminal background
- Either party was not old enough to get married
- One partner agreed to the marriage only by threat of force or violence
By annulling a marriage, it is like erasing the legal record of the union. This can be attractive to the spouses for a variety of reasons.
