Staten Island Annulment Attorney
Steps to Nullify a Marriage in New York
In the state of New York, you have two specific avenues for terminating your marriage. This includes divorce (also known as the dissolution of marriage) or annulment (also known as the nullity of marriage, or void ab anitio). Annulments, however, require specific grounds, as defined by New York law, which requires having a corroborating witness or corroborating affidavit, if the matter is uncontested.
Having a Staten Island family law attorney to represent you and provide you with guidance can greatly benefit your case. Call (718) 550-4152 to schedule your free family law consultation today.
Are You Eligible for an Annulment?
At The Law Office of Keith M. Casella, P.C., I have more than 2 decades of experience to use to your advantage. I am highly knowledgeable about the requirements for nullifying a marriage. I can meet with you to go over the details of your case to determine if you have grounds for an annulment.
An annulment may be possible if you can prove that your marriage was not valid in the first place. If the marriage was illegal in any way, it is considered a “void marriage” and can be nullified. These include instances of incest, when a former spouse is still living, or if there was any coercion, fraud, or incapacity involved.
Understanding Additional Grounds for Annulment
Marriages that are not automatically void require a court’s judgement. The court may also deny a request for annulment, in which case a traditional divorce will be necessary to formally end the marriage.
A few examples of conditions that can be grounds for nullifying your marriage include:
- Mental incapacity or deficiency of one spouse
- Fraud or force
- License irregularities
- Underage spouse(s)

"I really felt like I was treated with dignity and respect."I hired Casella & Casella to help me with a car accident case. The attorneys were very responsive to me and kept me informed of the status of my case. I've hired other attorneys in the past and i have always felt like I was doing the attorney a favor. Here it was the other way around. I really felt like I was treated with dignity and respect.- Edward

"I would most certainly recommend him!"I called this morning with a question and Keith himself was able to answer it. It’s unfortunate that I live in jersey and can’t use his services but considering how efficient he was and the fact he gave me his time of day with no problem… I would most certainly recommend him! Thank you for your time sir!- Krystle R.

"I am on the road to recovery and Mr Casella got me a very nice settlement. Along the way he answered all of my questions. He even checked in on me to see how I was doing. He is a great attorney and a very nice person."I retained this firm after I was in a car accident. I suffered a shoulder injury and I was very nervous. Mr. Casella was able to have all my medical bills paid for by the insurance company and got most of my salary reimbursed. After a few months, I am on the road to recovery and Mr Casella got me a very nice settlement. Along the way he answered all of my questions. He even checked in on me to see how I was doing. He is a great attorney and a very nice person.- Former Client
