What Is the Difference Between an Annulment and a Divorce?

There are many reasons why a couple would choose to end their marriage. In Louisiana, there are two ways to do this: by divorce or by annulment. In a divorce, a couple legally ends their marriage. In an annulment, a couple declares that their marriage was never valid in the first place. This means that, in the eyes of the law, the marriage never existed.

There are many requirements that must be met in order to get an annulment in Louisiana. The process can be complicated, so it is important to have an experienced Shreveport annulment lawyer by your side to help you through it.

At the law office of Ryan E. Gatti, we have been helping people in Shreveport and the surrounding areas get annulments for over 15 years. We know what the courts are looking for when it comes to granting an annulment, and we can help you prove your case. We will also be there to help you with any other family law issues that may arise, such as child custody and child support. Contact us today to learn more about our annulment services.

What Are the Requirements to Get an Annulment?

There are several requirements that must be met in order to get an annulment in Louisiana. These requirements include:

  • One or both spouses were underage at the time of the marriage
  • One spouse was already married at the time of the marriage
  • The couple is related by blood
  • One or both spouses were not of sound mind at the time of the marriage
  • One spouse was forced or coerced into getting married
  • One spouse is unable to have sexual intercourse

If you do not meet one of these requirements, you cannot get an annulment in Louisiana. However, you may still be able to get a divorce. If you are unsure which option is best for you, our Shreveport annulment attorney can help you decide.

How Do I Get an Annulment in Louisiana?

Getting an annulment in Louisiana is a complicated process. You will need to fill out several forms and provide the court with information about your marriage. You will also need to attend a hearing in front of a judge. The judge will decide whether or not to grant your annulment based on the information you provide. If your annulment is granted, you will need to get a certified copy of the court's decision and file it with the clerk of court. This will officially end your marriage.

Because the process is so complex, it is important to have an experienced Shreveport annulment lawyer by your side to help you through it. At the law office of Ryan E. Gatti, we can help you fill out the necessary forms, gather the required documents, and prepare you for your hearing. We will also be there to represent you in court and make sure that your rights are protected. We know what it takes to get an annulment in Louisiana, and we will fight to help you get one.
