Understanding Annulments

An annulment involves dissolving a marriage as if it never happened. A divorce, on the other hand, involves terminating a legal divorce.

For the court to grant your annulment request, you must meet at least one of the grounds for annulment. In Michigan, these grounds include:

One person was already married at the time of the subsequent marriage (bigamy)
One party was under 18
A spouse failed to disclose their infertility or hid their criminal record (fraud)
The person who performed the ceremony didn’t meet the legal requirements to do so

About Us

Specialized Annulment Services at The Shaw Law Firm

In Michigan, there are two types of marriages the court can dissolve: those that are invalid from the moment the marriage occurred and those that can remain valid until one party seeks an annulment.

For the first category, grounds for annulment include:

Bigamy
Incompetence
Parties are related by blood
One spouse is under 18

The second category includes cases of impotence and marriages conceived under fraud or duress. For instance, if one party is sterile and hides it from their spouse, the marriage can remain valid until the other partner seeks an annulment.

At The Shaw Firm, we know seeking an annulment is an emotional and sensitive process. That’s why we handle all such cases with dignity and respect.
