An annulment is different from a divorce or even a legal separation. An annulment "sets aside" the marriage as though it never occurred.

The law firm of Pritt & Pritt, PLLC skillfully handles marriage annulments.

The Process of Annulment Is Similar to a Divorce
While the legal procedure for obtaining an annulment is similar to that of divorce, the process of proving the invalidity of the marriage can be more difficult than getting a divorce. As experienced family law attorneys, we understand West Virginia's annulment laws. We can help you prove one of the following grounds necessary for annulment, such as:
- Close family relations: marriage with a blood relative
- Mental illness: an incurable mental illness diagnosed and testified by a certified surgeon
- Bigamy: you or your spouse has more than one spouse
- Fraud: misrepresentation to gain consent of marriage
- A number of other grounds
If you wish to have your marriage annulled for religious reasons, you will also want to speak with your minister, priest or rabbi.
Once an annulment is granted, the marriage is treated legally as though it never happened. However, issues involving any children of the marriage will still need to be addressed. Our firm handles child custody and support issues for parents whose marriages have been annulled.
