Trusted Annulment Lawyers in Las Vegas, NV
If you believe your marriage is invalid or should never have legally occurred, the experienced annulment attorneys at Marathon Law Group are here to help guide you through the process and protect your rights.
Ending a marriage is never easy—but sometimes, a divorce isn’t the right fit. If your marriage should never have happened in the first place, an annulment may be the legal path forward. Unlike divorce, which ends a valid marriage, annulment erases it as if it never existed.
According to the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, annulments account for approximately 3% of marriage dissolutions annually in Clark County. They may be less common—but for the right circumstances, they offer a powerful legal option.
Grounds for Annulment in Las Vegas, Nevada
To annul a marriage legally in Nevada, you need to meet specific legal grounds. These include:
- Fraud or Misrepresentation – One spouse lied about something essential (e.g., already married, hidden children, criminal history).
- Lack of Consent – Forced or coerced marriage, or one person couldn’t understand what they were doing.
- Underage Marriage – One spouse was too young to marry without proper consent.
- Bigamy – One person was already married to someone else.
- Incestuous Relationship – The couple is too closely related by blood.
- Mental Incapacity or Intoxication – One or both people were not in a sound mental state at the time of the wedding.
If any of these apply, speak with a local annulment lawyer to understand your legal options and how to proceed with filing an annulment petition.

Potential Outcomes of an Annulment

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between annulment and divorce?
A divorce ends a valid marriage. An annulment erases the marriage completely—as if it never happened. It’s based on specific legal grounds.
What are the residency requirements for filing an annulment in Las Vegas, Nevada?
You or your spouse must live in Nevada for at least six weeks before filing, unless the marriage occurred in Nevada and you’re seeking an annulment based on that.
Is there a time limit to file for an annulment?
Yes. Some grounds, like fraud, must be filed within a reasonable time. Others, like bigamy, can be challenged at any point. Speak with an annulment case attorney to learn your timeline.
Can I get an annulment if my spouse disagrees?
Yes, but it may become a contested annulment. Our contested annulment lawyers will fight for your rights and handle court proceedings if needed.
Will I need to go to court for an annulment?
Possibly. Some uncontested cases are resolved without a hearing. In other cases, court appearances may be required—our annulment petition lawyers will represent you throughout.
How does annulment affect property division and child custody in the City of Las Vegas?
Unlike divorce, property may be returned to original owners. Child custody and support follow similar rules as divorce, protecting the child’s best interest.
Can I remarry after an annulment?
Yes. Once your marriage is annulled, you are legally single and free to remarry.
Does an annulment affect the legitimacy of children?
No. Children born during an annulled marriage are still considered legitimate under Nevada law.
Can Marathon Law Group assist with annulments for out-of-state marriages?
Absolutely. If you or your spouse currently live in Nevada, our annulment attorneys in Las Vegas can help annul marriages performed in any state.
