Annulment of a Marriage
Matrimonial Direct only offer a fixed fee service on an uncontested annulment. An annulment under English law is for you if you satisfy one of the following criteria:
- If either party was already married at the time of your marriage
- If either party didn’t or was unable to give valid consent to the marriage
- If you or your spouse was under 16 at the time of the wedding
- If you weren’t a fully male/female couple
- If you and your spouse were related (this is complex and needs some consideration by an experienced lawyer)
- If your spouse had a communicable form of a sexually transmitted disease when you got married that you were unaware of.
- If your spouse was pregnant with someone else’s child and you didn’t know about it
- If you didn’t conform with the proper legal requirements – i.e. not filling in forms properly
Why fixed fees...
By paying a fixed fee at the start of your case you have certainty about the costs involved. The alternative is to pay an hourly rate (currently (£120 plus VAT) for the time your lawyer spends on your case. We believe you should pay for the work done not the time that it takes to do it.
