Do you want to verify the validity of a marriage or do you need to respond to a request for annulment? We analyze the conditions existing at the time of the marriage, the reason invoked and the evidence, separately from the divorce procedure.

Nullity concerns the violation of the legal conditions for the validity of marriage. Divorce concerns the dissolution of a marriage and has other grounds. A conflict that arose later or the mere desire for separation do not automatically justify nullification. We establish the objective and the appropriate legal path based on the facts.
The consequences cannot be inferred simply from the word annulment. We assess the children’s situation, good faith when entering into the marriage and property matters separately. An application concerning the marriage’s validity does not replace other steps needed to address a child’s residence, maintenance or property issues.
If the act was concluded abroad or the spouses have ties with other states, we verify the jurisdiction, applicable law, and the necessary documents. It does not mean that annulment in Romania is determined exclusively based on the place where the certificate was issued, or that any decision produces the same formalities in all states.
The marriage certificate, identity documents, certificates of the children and existing court decisions. Prepare a chronology of the relevant circumstances and the documents supporting the reason invoked. If you have received a request, add all the documents and proof of communication. The private information of the family is transmitted through the method agreed upon with the lawyer.
The subsequent dissatisfaction does not in itself prove the invalidity of the marriage. We analyze whether the conditions of another approach are met.
No. The nullity regime and the concrete circumstances must be examined separately.
For annulment on grounds of relative nullity, Article 301 of the Civil Code provides a six-month limitation period. Where consent was vitiated or a spouse temporarily lacked the capacity to understand and consent to the marriage, the period runs from the end of the duress or, as applicable, from when the person concerned became aware of the fraud, mistake or temporary lack of that capacity. Other grounds of annulment have their own statutory starting dates. Prepare a chronology and dated evidence so that the time limit and any circumstances that may cure the nullity can be assessed.
Yes, after analyzing the documents and verifying any conflicts of interest.
