Beverly Hills Lawyer Experienced in Annulment of a Marriage
Love can sometimes inspire normally cautious people to act impulsively and make the decision to get married before they have fully thought through their decision or before they have thoroughly gotten to know their intended partner.
At the Beverly Hills, California, Mansouri Law Offices, we regularly receive calls from men and women seeking to end their marriage without going through the divorce process. They are requesting an annulment, which can be filed by a married person to restore both people to unmarried status as if they were never married.

Annulments Require Certain Conditions to Be Met
The challenge that senior attorney Pedram Mansouri, Esq. experiences with clients seeking to annul their marriage is that certain conditions must be met before the court will consider the marriage as void or annulled.
People are mistaken in the assumption that just because both sides agree to annul the marriage, it can be annulled.
The person seeking the marriage termination will have to prove that one of the conditions for nullity has been met before the court will grant an annulment. These conditions can include one of the persons being of unsound mind at the time of the marriage or being defrauded into getting married.
Even if we do obtain an annulment on your behalf, it is important to know that the court can also issue orders regarding property and debt division, custody and support.
Divorce May Often Be More Cost Effective and Successful Than Annulment
It often makes sense and is more cost effective to simply file for a divorce, especially if both people agree that they no longer wish to be married, have no children and not many assets. From start to finish, a divorce can take six months from the time of the filing of the divorce papers.
