Invalid Marriages Law
In some cases, it may be necessary to resolve a marriage dispute by having the marriage declared invalid. Marriages can be declared invalid for a variety of reasons, including the circumstances surrounding the invalid marriage at its inception. While relatively uncommon, McKinley Irvin family law attorneys, and marriages attorneys, represent clients in invalidity of marriage actions.  While not a perfect synonym, some people may be more familiar with the term "annulment" than with "invalidity".

Within invalid marriages law, invalid marriage actions are similar to Washington State divorce actions and follow similar procedures. Accordingly, McKinley Irvin divorce lawyers are familiar with Washington State family law practices, including those for invalid marriages. At the end of an invalidity action, a court will declare the marriage either valid or invalid. Typically, when a marriage is declared valid, one or both parties will then request a decree of divorce.
