McKinney Annulment Lawyer
Your Texas Family Law Attorney in Collin, Denton, & Dallas Counties
An annulment in Texas is a court decree invalidating a marriage, declaring it null and void. If granted, an annulment makes it as though the marriage never occurred. However, obtaining an annulment is not a simple process; it requires meeting specific criteria under Texas law.
Attempting to navigate the annulment process independently may lead to costly errors and oversights. Attorney Melody Petitt at Petitt Family Law understands Texas family law, the court system, and the necessary procedures to obtain an annulment successfully. She can evaluate your situation, guide you on the best course of action, help gather the required evidence to support your case and ensure that all necessary steps are correctly handled.

Melody handled my case with care & logic. She challenged me when I was leading with emotional rather than logic, and understood when she needed to pull back. She was an excellent partner through the whole process, and I have already recommended her to others.- Anonymous

You don’t know what you don’t know. However, you do know when something is not working out. With that said, I went through a couple of attorneys before being represented by Melody Petitt and that made all the difference.
I will start off saying that the divorce process is like a game. And the law is the rule book, which is a constant that does not change. Where the game gets interesting are the players involved, petitioner, respondent and legal team. Every case is unique, yet some attorneys approach the process as if it’s all the same. However, in my case, we were dealing with a high conflict personality; and, it cannot be taken lightly. Unlike my prior attorneys, Melody jumped on my case and took the time to really understand my situation and what we were dealing with. She took the time to educate me on the law and how it applied in my situation, whether it was something I wanted to hear or not. The law is the law. She knew how to deal with the opposing party. Strategy was the key, and she was prepared for anything. She earned my trust and with that trust, she help make this process tolerable. Most importantly, she was able to get my case wrapped up in a timely manner with a desirable outcome. An outcome that would not have been possible otherwise. I highly recommend Melody Petitt.
