One common misconception is that a short marriage is itself grounds for annulment in New Jersey. It isn’t. There are statutory grounds that must be established regardless of how brief the marriage was. There is no statutory time limit on filing, though courts may grant annulments more often in marriages of shorter duration.
Because an annulment requires proving a specific statutory ground in court, the quality of legal representation matters from the first filing. Catherine F. Riordan’s Certified Matrimonial Attorney designation means she brings both the courtroom experience and the substantive matrimonial law knowledge that contested proceedings demand.
If you have questions about annulment, contact our office.

Did you know that there are two types of mediation when divorcing?
Private vs. Court-Ordered Mediation.
Private mediation is requested prior to filing which saves the most time. If you start the process through the court system, you may first have to wait for a Case Management Conference or an Early Settlement Panel before completing required mediation.
If you and your spouse can come to an agreement amicably, then contact a divorce lawyer prior to filing with the courts. You will save time and money.
Reach out to us if you have any questions.
