Annulment Serving Families Throughout McKinney, TX & Surrounding Areas

McKinney Annulment Lawyer

Your Trusted 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.

Understanding Annulments in Texas

The grounds for an annulment can include: 

  • Either you or your spouse were under 18 at the time of the marriage.
  • Either you or your spouse were impaired by alcohol or drugs during the marriage.
  • The marriage occurred due to fraud, force, or duress.
  • Either you or your spouse were mentally incapable of agreeing to the marriage.
  • Either you or your spouse were already married to someone else (bigamy).
  • Either you or your spouse hid the fact that you were previously divorced.
  • You and your spouse are too closely related, referred to as “consanguinity”. 
  • Either you or your spouse was impotent at the time of the marriage, and the other party was unaware of this.
  • You and your spouse did not wait 72 hours to marry after obtaining your marriage license.

    "Amazing results. My only regret is not hiring her initially several years ago."

    Melody exemplifies everything that I needed in an attorney. She followed through on every aspect of what she said she would do. Along the way, she always kept my interests in mind when following up with the courts and giving me closure. All this in just a few short weeks before closing out the 2020 year during a pandemic.

    In my previous experiences, I’ve always had to chase down my attorney or come up with the solutions on my own. Melody was the exact opposite of that. Replies were very timely, and she came up with solutions prior to discussing with me with any setbacks that would come up.

    My only regret is not hiring her initially several years ago.

    "Melody saved my case."
    When Melody took over my case, it was going nowhere, the previous attorney had done nothing for months but allow opposing counsel to stall, allowing my case to become dormant, luckily that attorney left the firm. When Melody took over she immediately began filing motions, requesting documents that previously had been denied. The outcome of my case was not all I’d hoped for, but Melody made sure I was able to maximize and make the best out of a bad situation. She was always honest, forthright, and meticulous in her handling of the case. She even pushed for the firm to credit my account for work that the previous attorney had not completed. If you want integrity, honesty, and hard work, definitely hire Melody Petitt as your counsel.

    "Melody is the attorney who took the bull by the horns."

    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.

    "She was an excellent partner through the whole process."
    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.
