How to Annul a Marriage in Texas

Typically, when trying to end a marriage, a couple will file for divorce. However, there are some people that do not want to divorce and prefer to have their marriage annulled. An annulment means that the court is declaring that your marriage is invalid. Once a marriage is annulled it is as if the marriage never existed.

Each state has their own set of rules and grounds for annulment. To annul a marriage in Texas, one spouse must live in the Texas, or the spouses were married there. You also need to meet one of the grounds to annul a marriage in Texas. The ground you select must be proven in court with evidence. You also need to file in the correct county.

You need to file in the county where all or a large part of the relevant facts leading to the annulment took place or where you or your spouse lived when the facts, acts, and marriage took place.

Once you complete your paperwork and file for annulment there is no specific waiting period required before your annulment can be complete in Texas. You just need to file and wait for the court to schedule your final hearing. The length of time will just depend on how busy the courts are when you file.

Do you need both signatures for an annulment?

Unless one spouse was under the age of 18, either spouse can file for annulment. If one spouse is under 18, that person's parent or guardian will have to file. If one spouse does not want to sign the annulment forms, you can still file for annulment by default. Your spouse not willing to sign does not stop the process. You just need to make sure that you have served them with the annulment forms by the sheriff. If your spouse agrees with the annulment, they should sign the Final Decree of Annulment.

How long do you have to file an Annulment?

A common misconception about annulment is that it is based on the length of your marriage. The reality is that an annulment is only granted if very specific grounds are met and can be proven in court. In Texas some grounds for annulment can have their own timing limitations. For example, if you are filing for annulment because one spouse was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the parties cannot voluntarily live together once the alcohol or drugs wear off. If you are filing based on fraud, force, or duress you cannot voluntarily live with your spouse after the fraud was discovered. If you do not qualify for annulment, you can always file for divorce.


Annulment vs Divorce Texas

If you want to end your marriage, but are unsure how, there are two options. You can file for divorce or annulment. To make your decision you should know the main differences between divorce and annulment in Texas. When you file for divorce, it is recognized by the court that you have a valid marriage. If you are filing for annulment you are stating to the court that your marriage is not valid. If an annulment in Texas is granted it is as if your marriage never existed in the eyes of the law. Annulment is less common than divorce and can be more difficult to obtain. You need to prove to the court that your marriage is not valid. Annulment in Texas is granted based on very specific grounds and needs to be proven in court with evidence to support your claim.

Another difference between annulment and divorce in Texas is that divorce allows the court to divide assets and debts during the marriage while annulment does not. This is because Texas is a community property state so if the marriage was never valid there are no grounds to divide property. If there are children involved, you will need to file for a Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship to settle custody and support issues when filing for annulment in Texas. If you are filing for divorce all of those issues can be settled at once.

How long after marriage can you get an annulment in Texas?

When you think about an annulment you think about a marriage that was over quickly, however that is not the case. Annulment has no relation to the length of the marriage. Annulment is actually granted based on very specific grounds. These grounds need to be proven in court with evidence. So, whether you were married for one day or one year, you must meet the grounds for annulment to be eligible for annulment in Texas. However, if you and your spouse consummate the marriage and live together for an extended period of time, the likelihood of getting the court to approve your annulment are slim since those things validate your marriage and you will need to file for divorce.

Do both parties have to agree to an annulment?

While agreement of the parties is not a requirement to get an annulment in Texas, it is very difficult to get an annulment when the parties do not agree. If it is possible, it is best if you and your spouse are able to reach an agreement before filing for annulment in Texas.

Texas annulment laws

There is no waiting period once you file for annulment in Texas however the length of the process will depend on how busy the court is at the time you file.
