Columbus GA Annulment – Divorce

Divorce is different from annulment of marriage. Divorce is the dissolution of a marriage contracted between a man and a woman, by the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Until a decree of divorce be actually made, neither party can treat the other as sole, even in cases where the marriage is utterly null and void for some preexisting cause. A decree of divorce must also be made during the lifetime of both the parties. After the decease of either the marriage will be deemed as legal in all respects. A divorce formally dissolves a legal marriage.

You can get a civil annulment for one of the following reasons:
• Fraud or misrepresentation – Your spouse lied about something that was important to you in getting married, like the ability to have children.
• No consummation of the marriage - Your spouse is physically unable to have sexual intercourse, and you didn’t know it when you got married.
• Incest, bigamy, or underage party- If your spouse is related to by blood so that your marriage is illegal under the laws of the state where the marriage took place or your spouse is married to someone else, or is under the age of consent and didn’t receive a parent’s approval.
• Unsound mind – Either you or your spouse was impaired by alcohol or drugs at the time of the wedding or didn’t have the mental capacity to understand what was happening.
• Force – You were forced into getting married.
