Understanding Annulments: What You Need to Know

An annulment, often called a "nullity of marriage," is a legal declaration that a marriage is invalid from its inception. Unlike divorce, which ends a legally valid marriage, an annulment is a way to legally declare that a marriage was never valid. This means that, in the eyes of the law, marriage never existed.

Annulments are a rare occurrence in family law, and they are only granted in specific circumstances. One must prove that the marriage was void or voidable to obtain an annulment. These terms are often used interchangeably but have distinct meanings:

Void Marriage: A void marriage was never valid from the outset. It is as if the marriage never occurred. Void marriages typically involve:

  • Bigamy (one spouse was already married).
  • Close blood relationships (incestuous marriages).
  • Marriages involving individuals who lacked the legal capacity to marry (e.g., a spouse was underage).

Voidable Marriage: A voidable marriage has a defect or issue that makes it legally challengeable. This could include situations where one party entered the marriage under duress, fraud, impotence, or a lack of mental capacity.

Eligibility Criteria for Annulments in Oklahoma

Annulments in Oklahoma are governed by state law, and specific criteria must be met to be eligible for an annulment. The following are some of the key requirements for obtaining an annulment in the state:

  • Grounds for Annulment: To seek an annulment in Oklahoma, you must establish valid grounds, such as bigamy, incest, impotence, lack of mental capacity, or fraud. Each of these grounds has its specific requirements.
  • Residency: To file for an annulment in Oklahoma, you or your spouse must be a resident of the state or a member of the military stationed in Oklahoma.
  • Timeliness: It's important to note that there are time limits for seeking an annulment. These time limits vary depending on the specific grounds for annulment.
  • Child Custody and Support Considerations: Just like in divorce cases, child custody and support issues may arise during an annulment proceeding.
  • Division of Property and Debts in Annulments: The division of property and debts can be a complex issue in annulment cases.
  • Spousal Support Options: Spousal support or alimony may be sought in some annulment cases.
