Florida Divorce Lawyer Russell D. Knight Discusses the Possibility of an Annulment in Naples, Florida
Dec 9, 2022
December 09, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Florida divorce lawyer Russell D. Knight (https://divorceattorneynaplesfl.com/can-i-get-an-annulment-in-florida/) releases a new article explaining whether an annulment is possible in Florida. The lawyer mentions that according to the Black’s Law Dictionary, an annulment means an event or judgment that is treated as if it never happened. Marriage annulment will make a marriage disappear as though it never happened in the first place.
According to the Florida divorce lawyer, “Fraud is one of the few grounds for annulment. Fraud is the making of intentional misrepresentation, with the knowledge that the other party will rely on it, and attaining the other party’s consent as a result. Basically, lying about something important in order to get the other person to marry you.”
The lawyer explains that if an individual uses fraud as a ground for annulment, one question will be whether the thing they were lied to is important enough to count as fraud. However, in Florida, if the marriage has been consummated, fraud is not allowed to be used as a basis to annul the marriage.
Attorney Russell D. Knight adds that another ground for annulment is duress. Duress happens when there is some level of pressure strong enough to remove the willful consent of one party. The duress must also happen throughout the entire process of the wedding.
In the article, attorney Knight also discusses bigamy. Bigamy is also another ground for a marriage annulment. This term simply means that a person is not allowed to marry again if they are still married. In Florida, bigamy is considered a felony in the third degree.
The divorce attorney also adds, “What happens if a marriage is annulled? Well, neither spouse is eligible for any kind of benefits for spouses. This is especially important as it relates to wills and life insurance policies. This begs the question ‘can an annulment happen after a person has passed?’ No one knows the answer to this particular question as no court has addressed it yet.”
Lastly, the Florida divorce lawyer stresses that it is important to consult an experienced attorney when dealing with matters such as a divorce or an annulment. A skilled attorney might be able to help clients understand their rights and responsibilities during the divorce or separation process.
