Are you unsure if you have valid grounds for an annulment? We can help you understand the process and determine if your case is eligible for an annulment.
An annulment in Alberta is a court order that makes a marriage null and void, essentially erasing the legal implications of the union as if the marriage never existed. Unlike a divorce, which terminates a valid marriage, an annulment declares the marriage void or voidable. An annulment can be granted for several reasons, such as fraud, lack of consent, or bigamy.
The process involves filing an application with your local courthouse and providing proof of the grounds for annulment. If the court finds substantial grounds, it will issue a Nullity Decree, confirming the marriage was invalid. It’s important to understand the difference between annulments and divorces: while an annulment erases the marriage entirely, a divorce only dissolves a valid union.
