If you are questioning whether your marriage was ever legally valid, you may have grounds for an annulment rather than a divorce. Annulment is not the right fit for every situation, and New Jersey law only permits it under specific circumstances. At Maduabum Law Firm LLC, our annulment attorney in Newark can review the specifics of your situation and explain whether an annulment is available to you under New Jersey law and what that process would involve.<\/p>\n

A divorce dissolves a marriage that was legally valid. An annulment, formally called a judgment of nullity under New Jersey law, is based on conditions that existed at the time of the marriage itself, and it treats the marriage as though it never legally existed. Because of this, annulments are only available in specific, limited circumstances, unlike divorce, which can be granted for reasons such as irreconcilable differences. New Jersey courts can still address custody, support, and other family matters even in an annulment case. Our attorneys can help you understand which path fits your circumstances before you file anything with the court.<\/p>\n

New Jersey law does not impose the same one-year residency requirement that generally applies to divorce, but an annulment still requires proof that the marriage meets a recognized legal ground, which may involve evidence, documentation, and court review.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Does an annulment affect child custody or support in Newark?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Yes. New Jersey courts can still address child custody, parenting time, child support, and spousal support when a marriage is annulled. These matters are considered separately from the validity of the marriage and are decided according to the family\u2019s circumstances and applicable state law.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can I get an annulment in Newark if my marriage was short?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]A short marriage by itself does not qualify for an annulment under New Jersey law. The marriage must meet a recognized legal ground for a judgment of nullity. Whether annulment or divorce is appropriate depends on the facts, available evidence, and circumstances surrounding the marriage.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What happens to property after an annulment in Newark?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Property and financial obligations may still need to be addressed when a marriage is annulled. New Jersey law may affect how assets, debts, and other financial matters are handled, depending on the facts of the case and the circumstances connected with the marriage.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_code admin_label=”FAQPage Schema” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
