The Respondent does not have to agree to annulment in order for it to become final. The Texas Family Code allow very few situations in which an annulment is allowed. For a free evaluation of your case call Landon Northcutt at 254-968-5400.

Re: Question on Annulments in Texas

An annulment is like a divorce in the sense that a judge will grant one after an agreement by the parties or after a trial. An annulment can certainly be contested and therefore granted without agreement.

More frequently, one party petitions for an annulment and the other responds with a counter-petition for divorce. The ownership of property acquired during the marraige is at stake. You do not often see annulments granted because the proof is extremely difficult to come by.

No. But even if the other spouse agrees, the judge may decide not to grant an annulment.
