how is annulment different from divorce in florida
hi i'm nydia streets a divorce attorney with vari and associates a family law firm
in downtown miami
an annulment is different from a divorce in the sense that an annulment is
basically a legal declaration that a marriage never legally existed for
some reason that the marriage was void
when made meaning that there was no uh... actual basis for marriage to be
formed
for example if you and your spouse are related by blood
uh... that is a void marriage in florida that will subject you to an annulment um..
also if there was actually no consent
uh... in the marriage that is
considered a voidable marriage
uh... a divorce is a legal separation of two parties but it is not a legal
declaration that they were never legally married
uh... and divorce is an acknowledgment that the parties were actually legally
married but that now they want to live separate lives and be legally free of
each other so to speak
when determining whether or not you your situation qualifies as an annulment or
divorce it is important to consult with with a qualified divorce lawyer
in miami to determine weather or not what the legal benefits of an annulment
over a divorce are for you
uh... an annulment may
may limit your exposure to for example alimony or certain property division
so it's important that you know your rights
