Maven Family Law represents clients in annulment proceedings. We help individuals determine whether their marriage can be legally declared invalid under California law and assist them in the related proceedings.
Unlike divorce, which terminates a valid marriage, an annulment establishes that a marriage was never legally valid due to specific circumstances, which can include fraud, force, incapacity, or being married at the time of the union. Annulments can involve nuanced legal and factual issues that involve strict evidentiary requirements and time limitations. Furthermore, they can also raise various complex questions related to property division, spousal support, parentage, and child-related matters.
Maven Family Law gathers all the facts and goes through various possible outcomes with our clients to determine whether pursuing an annulment is a viable or desirable path.
