A divorce, most of the times, is an emotionally draining and sad process. Couples who have decided that their marriage is not working can either file for dissolution of their marriage or an annulment. In either case, a divorce attorney can educate you about your rights and assist you with the seemingly overwhelming situation.
After an annulment, the marriage between two people practically never
existed. Most commonly, fraud is the ground for marriage annulment. This means
that one spouse didn't disclose information prior to the marriage about
infectious diseases, criminal records, the inability to have children -or the
desire not to- or previous marriages.
During the dissolution of a marriage
the parties and the court resolve the issues of property division, child custody
and matters of support. In contrast to an annulment, a divorce then separates
the couple, leaving divorced ex-spouses, who can then remarry.
Due to the complex nature of a divorce and the emotions that are involved, obtaining a divorce attorney is always advisable. Couples who have been married for a short period and have no children and/or no property may be able to pass on the assistance of an attorney.
At the same time, most married couples either have children or some kind of
property together. While attorneys mostly pay for themselves, they can also
assist you in personal or property matters and inform you about any financial
burdens that may come with certain decisions.
