Orange County Annulment Lawyer With Experience

California Marriage Annulment

Barbara McNamara is a family law attorney based in Orange County, California. She helps clients with marriage annulments.

Many couples realize after getting married that it wasn’t the right decision for them. However, not everyone has to go through a divorce to reverse the decision. If you were involved in a “sham marriage” or an accidental marriage, you may be able to get an annulment. This is often the easiest and fastest way to dissolve a marriage, but an annulment can only be successfully filed for under certain circumstances. An annulment can only be granted if you can prove that your marriage should legally be considered null and void.

You may be able to have your marriage annulled if:

You found out that you and your spouse are blood related, but had no prior knowledge of this before getting married;
Your partner was already married to someone else at the time of your marriage and you had no idea that your new spouse was still legally married to someone else;
You were forced or threatened into the marriage;
Your spouse misled you about an important fact about him or herself, like he/she is sterile and promised you children, when in fact he/she biologically cannot have children.

As a certified family law specialist in the State of California, I have had extensive experience in working with clients who are interested in having their marriage annulled. I understand what is required for an annulment, and can work with you and your partner to determine whether an annulment is the right option for you. I can help you build your case for annulment, and assist you in the filing of the required paperwork. I will consult with you to help you reach an agreement with your partner on all terms of the annulment.

If you are considering an annulment, you need an experienced, qualified family law attorney by your side to help guide you through the process. Call me today at (714) 740-2542 for a consultation.

Barbara had her game face on when I met her and it was awesome! She had an intensity when listening to me talk, I knew she was totally engaged with what I had to say. Barbara laid it on the line and gave her candid opinion, which I appreciated and still appreciate. We.....
