Annulment Attorney in Monmouth County
An annulment is an action taken to nullify a marriage. This is different from a divorce. A divorce is a dissolution of a marriage while an annulment declares the marriage null and void. In an annulment a marriage would be considered to never have legally taken place.
There are many different reasons why a couple may want an annulment, including one party being mentally impaired at the time of the marriage and unaware of what was taking place, as in the case of excessive intoxication. Deceit is sometimes a valid reason to obtain an annulment; if one spouse deceives the other into entering the marriage for unscrupulous reasons then the other may choose an annulment once the truth is discovered.

How the Annulment Process Works in Monmouth County, NJ
If you want to annul your marriage in Monmouth County, NJ, the process involves several key steps:
File a Complaint for Annulment. Start by filing a Complaint for Annulment, which outlines your details, those of your spouse, and your reasons for seeking annulment. Either you or your spouse must be a New Jersey resident at the time of filing.
Understand Grounds for Annulment. New Jersey law permits annulments only under specific conditions, such as fraud, one spouse being underage at the time of marriage, mental incapacity, bigamy, incest, or coercion. These grounds ensure the marriage was invalid from the start.
Court Proceedings. After filing, your spouse is served with the paperwork. If they agree, the annulment may be granted without a hearing. If contested, a judge will review evidence and hear testimonies before deciding.
While annulments legally void the marriage as though it never happened, the court can still address child custody, support, and visitation arrangements if needed. Property disputes are rarer but may require legal consultation. If you’re exploring this process, speaking with our Monmouth County annulment attorney can provide clarity.
