Annulment is the process of requesting that a court declare a marriage void or voidable. Annulment is different from divorce or legal separation in that parties to a divorce action are asking that the court terminate their marriage, while an annulment suit is a petition to have the court enter an order declaring that the marriage never existed.

When individuals have entered into a marriage under certain statutory false pretenses, it may be possible to petition the court to annul the marriage. You should be aware that, in most cases, the court will require that spouses go through the divorce process instead of granting an annulment.

The Texas Family Code provides for several circumstances under which a spouse may ask the court to annul their marriage. Some of those statutory reasons for an annulment include:

  • Certain underage marriages
  • At least one of the spouses was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the marriage and lacked the capacity to consent to the marriage
  • Undisclosed impotency discovered after the marriage
  • Fraud, duress or force
  • Mental incapacity
  • Concealed divorce

While you should consult with an experienced and knowledgeable attorney to discuss the specifics of your case, several of the grounds for a potential annulment also require that the spouses cease living together as husband and wife after recovering from the incapacity or learning of the undisclosed facts that are the basis for the annulment.
