This is the first post in a series of articles which will discuss how to annul a marriage in Las Vegas, Nevada. I believe this is an important topic to write about as there are some misconceptions about when an individual can have their marriage annulled and how one pursues and obtains it. The purpose of these coming articles is to provide information that will help people better understand their options. I also aim to offer direction on how to select an attorney. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance then contact my office today to speak with a family lawyer.
I will be addressing these topics over my coming articles. Issues which I will be analyzing include:
- When a Nevada marriage may be annulled
- The process of filing an annulment
- Obtaining an annulment via default
- Litigating an annulment
There are multiple reasons why I chose to address these particular topics. First, many people may want an annulment but are not sure whether they meet the requirements for doing so. In Nevada, a marriage may be annulled if there was fraud or a lack of capacity. Second, the filing process can seem overwhelming. A lawyer offers guidance and ensures paperwork is filed properly and arguments are properly pleaded. Third, it is possible in some cases to obtain an annulment even if the other party does not respond or participate. This is known as obtaining an annulment by default. Finally, litigating an annulment may be necessary if the situation is not straightforward or amicable.
One message I will highlight in each of these articles is how important it is to seek the guidance of an attorney as soon as possible if you or a loved one needs help. Annulment cases can be legally and factually complex. Having counsel on your side early on in the process can ensure your rights are protected and you reach a desirable outcome.
