Understanding Legal Separation vs. Annulment 🤔

Legal separation and annulment are two paths often considered when a marriage faces challenges. But what do they really mean?

🔹 Legal Separation: This is for couples who can’t live together but aren’t ready to end their marriage. It requires a court petition – simply living apart isn’t enough. While most states recognize legal separation, each country has its own rules. For instance, in Germany, it’s a necessary step before divorce. In California, legal separation means you’re no longer living as a married couple, but you aren’t divorced either.

🔹 Annulment: This is different. It’s a legal procedure that declares a marriage null and void, as if it never existed. Annulments are granted when a marriage is considered legally invalid due to reasons like fraud, bigamy, or incapacity.

Are you confused about which option is right for you? It’s a significant decision and varies depending on individual circumstances. For personalized advice, let’s connect.
