Michigan Annulment

Marriage and divorce statistics demonstrate that residents of Michigan rarely seek annulment. This may be due to the fact that the legal grounds for a Michigan annulment are quite limited and restrictive. Currently, the courts except claims of bigamy, mental illness, disability and sexually transmitted disease as the only legal reasons for a marriage to be declared void at the time it occurred. Because the burden of proof rests with the parties seeking the annulment, many people view a straightforward divorce as a simpler option. If, however, someone wants to permanently erase their marriage from the public record, then getting a Michigan annulment is their only alternative. Obviously it can be quite difficult to legally prove a spouse has not consummated a marriage, or has a serious mental illness, but a good attorney can usually help someone to demonstrate proof of such issues.
