Marriages can be legally terminated either by divorce or by annulment. Divorce is the decree for the dissolution of a marriage, while annulment is a court’s order that the marriage is void and never took place. Under Florida annulment laws, following are the grounds for annulment in the state:
Underage Marriage
Florida annulment laws strictly restrict the marriages of children who are under 18 years of age without the consent of parents, guardians or court. Such marriages can be annulled.
Marriage Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
It is a globally accepted fact that a person loses his/her mental and physical abilities while s/he is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If you or your partner were under the influence of drugs when you got married, you can file for annulment under Florida annulment laws.
Physical Disability
If either you or your spouse has some physical disability which is adversely affecting your sexual life, both you and your spouse can claim a Florida annulment.
Fraud and Duress
If you have been cheated or forced into a marriage, you are entitled to get an annulment under the Florida
annulment laws.
Mental Incapacity
Mental incapacitation is a ground for annulment under the Florida annulment laws. You can file for annulment if you do not want to live with a spouse who is insane, partial or complete.
