Nullity
'I believe that I was very fortunate to have chosen the services of Ralph McMahon and his excellent team.'
The effect of a Decree of Nullity is that the marriage never existed in the first place and the parties are entitled to marry again as if they are single people.
It is important to note however, a Nullity granted by the Courts is different to a Nullity granted by the Church and a Decree of Nullity from the Courts does not automatically entitle the parties to a Nullity from the Church.
In the event of an Order of Nullity being made by the Court, the spouses cease to be legally married to each other and lose any rights they had as spouses under various legislation.
A Court may grant a Decree of Nullity if it is satisfied that one of the following grounds apply:
1.
Lack of Capacity
One party was already married to someone else at the time of the marriage
Both parties were of the same sex
One party was under the age of 18 and did not have Court permission
2.
Did not observe certain formalities
The parties involved did not comply with a formal requirement relating to ceremony, such as providing three month’s notice to the Registrar of Marriages prior to the ceremony
