Our Agreed Annulment of Marriage package is designed for couples who have decided to end their marriage and agree to all terms of the annulment. An annulment of marriage is a legal process that declares the marriage null and void from its inception as if it never existed. This package is suitable for couples who meet specific criteria for an annulment, such as fraud, duress, undisclosed debts or unfiled taxes, undisclosed prior marriages, or incapacity at the time of the marriage.
If the annulment is disputed or contested, this package is not appropriate, and we encourage you to contact our law firm for guidance.
With our Agreed Annulment of Marriage package, we can help you navigate the process seamlessly and efficiently.
