• Annulment
  A divorce annulment is where the marriage is void and treated like it never occurred. Although marriages are void if there is force, underage, no consent, mistake, the woman is pregnant by someone else, impotence, fraud, one or both parties lack capacity, or the marriage remains unconsummated, it is a serious public policy violation. Furthermore, our Nashville area divorce lawyers explain that marriages are voidable if the parties are related (incestuous), already married (bigamy), or declared insane during the marriage ceremony time frame.
