What Is Annulment?
Annulment is a legal procedure for declaring a marriage void and invalid from its inception. Unlike a divorce, an annulment does more than end a marriage. It treats the marriage as if it had never taken place.
Some people prefer an annulment for religious reasons. Others choose an annulment to avoid the stigma of divorce or to avoid the need to divide community property.
What Are the Grounds for Annulment in Georgia?
In Georgia, you can obtain an annulment if you were fraudulently induced into marriage. Examples of fraud include:
- Your spouse lied about his or her ability to have children
- Your spouse concealed a sexually transmitted disease or an addition to drugs or alcohol
- Your spouse misled you about his or her religious faith
- Your spouse lied about a prior marriage
In Georgia, you can only obtain an annulment if there are no children born of the marriage. If you have children, your marriage can only be ended by divorce.
