No, contrary to popular understanding, an annulment is typically much harder to achieve in Rochester, even if your marriage has been short.
For the state of New York to allow an annulment, you’ll have to prove that there was a flaw in the origin of the marriage, like one of you was underage and therefore ineligible, or still married to a previous spouse.
The judge, rather than dissolving a marriage and restoring your status, is essentially declaring that your marriage never happened at all, which requires a high bar to meet.
New York allows a no-fault divorce action, and a couple that married hastily and wants to divorce can do so with relatively minor costs.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can help you negotiate favorable terms that leave you in good shape.
And if you believe that you do meet the tests for an annulment, we can help.
