La Mesa Annulment Lawyer

Serving San Diego, La Mesa, El Cajon & Lemon Grove

An annulment occurs when the courts declare that your marriage or domestic partnership is not legally valid. The courts will treat your marriage as though it never happened, as it was never legal. As a La Mesa family lawyer, I can help you navigate through the annulment process.

Reasons for an Annulment

A marriage is deemed legally invalid in all cases involving incest and when a spouse is already married or in a domestic partnership. The courts can also declare a marriage invalid if the party filing for the annulment was under 18 years of age at the time of the marriage. Overall, if you feel that your marriage was not legally valid and are seeking an annulment, I can review the matter to determine what options you have.

In addition to incest and bigamy, other reasons for an annulment may include:

  • One, or both of the parties involved were of "unsound mind" and, thus, unable to understand what was happening at the time of the marriage
  • Fraud, such as when a person is seeking a green card or fails to disclose that they are unable to have children
  • One or both of the parties were forced into the marriage
  • At the time of the marriage, one of the parties was incapacitated and unable to "consummate" the marriage, with the incapacitation being deemed "incurable"

How Long Do I Have to File for an Annulment?

The state of California has a statute of limitations to file for an annulment. The period of time in which you have to file depends on the reason for the annulment. For those who got married before the age of 18, you must file within 4 years of turning 18. For marriages where fraud has been discovered, the annulment must be filed within 4 years of becoming aware of the fraud. And in the case of "unsound mind," the individual, or a relative, must file before the death of either party.
