Our Unique Approach to Family Law

You should know, first of all, that in the state of Pennsylvania, there is no such thing as a legal separation. When married couples want to separate, they simply live apart. The road to achieving an annulment can be a rocky one. Those seeking the kind of legal annulment that religion-based annulments provide, in which a marriage is considered invalid as if it never happened, should be aware of the difficulties that lie ahead.

Our comprehensive knowledge of Pennsylvania divorce law will make you aware of the two types of marriages that can be annulled: one that can be voided, depending on a variety of critical circumstances, and one that is voided from the beginning.

Among circumstances that constitute grounds for annulment are: bigamy, a marriage of related spouses, lack of consent due to mental disorder or if one of the parties was under 18 years old. Others could include: lack of parental consent for an underage spouse, any role played by drugs or alcohol, or marriages traced to the presence of fraud, coercion, force or duress.
