Our services
Void and voidable marriages, while rare, are significant in family law due to specific defects that render a marriage/civil partnership either non-existent (void) or existent only until annulled (voidable). Our team at Slater Heelis is skilled in handling the nuances of such cases.
Void marriages may occur under several conditions, such as too close a familial relationship, pre-existing marriages, or underage parties. In contrast, voidable marriages might involve issues like lack of consent, non-consummation, mental disorders, communicable diseases, or undisclosed pregnancy by another person at the time of the marriage.
Key to navigating these scenarios is the understanding of strict time limits and technicalities that apply, especially in the case of voidable marriages. Nullity proceedings, unlike divorce, can be initiated without a one-year waiting period from the marriage or civil partnership date.
The distinction between a void marriage, a voidable marriage, and a ‘non-marriage’ (non-qualifying ceremonies) is intricate and can have significant legal implications, especially regarding financial claims in the Family Court.
Our experienced family law solicitors are equipped to provide you with the necessary legal expertise and support, ensuring your case is handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
