Legal Question in Family Law in Kansas

Re: marriage

In Kansas, if you meet residency requirements, there is no statutory time frame for filing an annulment. However, you must allege certain things to get an annulment. You should consult an experienced family law attorney. The Kansas statute setting forth the grounds for annulment is as follows:

60-1602. Grounds for annulment. (a) The district court shall grant a decree of annulment of any marriage for either of the following grounds: (1) The marriage is void for any reason; or (2) the contract of marriage is voidable because it was induced by fraud.

(b) The district court may grant a decree of annulment of any marriage if the contract of marriage was induced by mistake of fact, lack of knowledge of a material fact or any other reason justifying recission of a contract of marriage.
