Understanding Divorce vs. Annulment
While divorce legally ends a valid marriage, an annulment asserts that the marriage was never legally valid, essentially making it null and void. Unlike a divorce, which involves court rulings on asset division, child support, and financial issues, an annulment requires a separate petition to address these matters.
- Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Texas Annulment
- Qualification Criteria for an Annulment
Annulments are not granted to everyone; they are reserved for marriages considered void or voidable. Void marriages are those that were unlawful from the outset, such as unions between close relatives, marriages involving individuals already married, marriages with a partner under 14 years old (or under 18 without a court order or parental consent), marriages occurring within a month of a prior divorce, and marriages conducted within 72 hours of obtaining a marriage license.
In Texas, the law prohibits marriages between closely related individuals, including:
- Brother and sister (by half blood, whole blood, or adoption)
- Aunt and nephew
- Uncle and niece
- Ancestor and descendant
