Re: Annulment

You need a formal JUDGMENT. There is a procedure for obtaining a judgment, however, what is needed at this late date depends upon what papers have been filed thus far. Call me directly at (619) 222-3504.

Re: Annulment

I practice in Georgia, but am also a member of the California Bar and your question was referred to me.

Hopefully, your lawyer filed a copy with the court and a signed copy exists that he never forwarded to you. I suggest you go to the court clerk's office and ask to review the file for your case. See if the annulment order in there was signed by the court. If it is there, you are fine. If not, please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected].

Re: Annulment

Go the the clerk's office and get a blank judgment form and blank Notice of Entry of Judgment. Fill out both, checking the nullity boxes. Take the originals and 3 copies of both to the court on an ex parte hearing basis. The judge will read the minute order and then sign your judgment, effective on the date on the minute order. Also take two business size envelopes with .37 stamps.
