What is an annulment? An annulment is similar to a divorce in the sense that both remove the confines of the marital bond from the couple. The key difference is that after an annulment, the marriage has been dissolved in such a way that it is as if the parties were never even married in the first place. This is because annulment is most often based on the grounds of fraud. How do I know if I qualify for an Annulment? If your spouse was married (either knowingly or unintentionally) at the time you married them, then you may qualify for an annulment. This is because in N.Y., bigamy (being married to more than one person at a time) is illegal. For more information, call our office and we will give you a free telephone consultation. Another common way you qualify for an annulment is if your spouse lied to you about their intentions to start a family to induce you into marriage. Let’s say you’re dating your significant other, and they promise you that they want to start a family with you. They tell you if you marry them, then they will have children with you. But, after the wedding, everything changes. Now they refuse to have relations with you and may even outright tell you they lied to you and never intended to start a family with you at all. These circumstances may qualify you for an annulment. Call our office to find out if you qualify for an annulment today.

FAQs

What is a preliminary conference?

The preliminary conference is your first appearance in your divorce action. At this appearance, you should have your statement of net worth completed. You will also complete a preliminary conference order. The court typically tries to get an understanding of your case at this court appearance.

How long will it take the court to sign my judgment in an uncontested divorce action?

You can call the courthouse and ask. You can also look on e-courts to see if the judgment has been signed. The answer varies from courthouse to courthouse.

How much will I have to pay in child support?

There are a few ways to figure out your child support obligation. You can use a child support calculator, refer to the child support standards chart or estimate your child support income by multiplying your income by 17% for one child or 25% for two children. For a more accurate estimate, deduct your social security taxes, Medicare taxes and NYC/Yonkers taxes (and spousal support obligation, if any) from your gross income and then multiply by 17% for one child or 25% for two children. This answer assumes that you are paying child support and spousal support.

Do I have to pay child support even if I can't see the kids?

Probably, yes. However, if the child refuses to see you or the custodial parent will not let you see the child, then you can ask the court to stop your child support obligation. This is very difficult to prove since you need to show the court that you attempted to have a relationship with the child and you don't have a relationship with the child because of the child or the custodial parent. Again, you must make every effort to have a relationship to win on this claim.

What if the mother or father won't come see the kids?

Try to resolve the issue through mediation or attorneys. If that does not work, ask the non-custodial parent to pay more child support since he or she is not exercising parenting time. For the non-custodial parent, parenting time is a right that the non-custodial does not have to exercise.

This information can be found on the FAQ page on our website.
