Do I Qualify for an Annulment?

Unlike a traditional divorce, an annulment makes it as if your marriage never happened in the eyes of the law. In North Carolina, only select few circumstances allow a couple to qualify for an annulment. For a marriage to be annulled, the egality of the union must be examined.

You may be able to get an annulment if:

• The marriage is between two persons nearer of kin than first cousins, or a marriage between double first cousins
• One of the spouses is a minor
• One of the parties is medically deemed impotent
• The marriage is committed under false pretenses, such as the wife misrepresenting pregnancy
• The marriage is between persons either of whom has a husband or wife living at the time of the marriage, also known as bigamy
• The marriage is between persons either of whom lack the capacity to understand and consent

Contrary to popular belief, the length of the marriage does not have an influence on a couple's eligibility. However, the grounds for annulment must exist at the time of the marriage. If you believe that you may satisfy any of the above requirements, a legal professional from our firm can help determine the most appropriate legal option for your situation.
