How to Find an Annulment Attorney

To annul something is to declare it invalid or void. Sometimes it becomes necessary to annul a marriage, which can be a fast and simple process compared to a long divorce. If you're considering an annulment of your marriage, you're going to want to find an annulment attorney to guide you in the right direction.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Determine that you do need the advice of an attorney. Disagreements can create an impulse that says you no longer want to be in a marriage, but you're going to want to wait for a "cooler head" before making a life changing decision such as an annulment.
2. Consult with a marriage counselor. Your marriage may be able to be saved, but only if both parties are willing to seek outside help. If your partner isn't open to speaking to a professional, you may benefit from individual counseling. You can ask your counselor for a recommendation of attorneys in the domestic arena.
3. Contact your local or state bar association. Through this avenue, you may be able to obtain a list of attorneys in your area that can provide you with advice and representation.
4. Search an online lawyer directory. By using a reputable website such as Martindale-Hubbell, you can narrow your search down to attorneys in your area specializing in the issue related to your case--domestic and family law.

Tips & Warnings

• If you're without funds to hire an attorney, your local government may have a legal aid office available to provide free, pro-bono services.
