Riverside Annulment

Like divorce, an annulment or annulity of marriage is considered the legal termination of a marriage.  However, unlike divorce, annulment treats the marriage as if it never existed.  Once an annulment is granted, the marriage or partnership is not considered legally valid.

In the state of California, people may file for an annulment if one of the spouses is underage, if one of the spouses is already married, if one of the spouses is physically incapacitated, if the marriage was forced, or on the grounds of fraud.  If a person entered into a marriage that was not legally valid from the beginning, then it never legally existed, and is therefore subject to annulment by the California courts.
