In this podcast episode, we discuss a different way to end a marriage through a decree of nullity. This applies in certain circumstances where the marriage is either void or voidable. Mark and Samuel explain that this is different from the standard process of divorce and provide examples of situations where a marriage could be voidable, such as pregnancy with another man’s child or no valid consent in the first place due to duress or mistaken identity.
We also touch on cases where one party is already married and mention that there is interesting case law on this topic. The hosts emphasize that while it may be a difficult journey, listeners can reach out to their team for guidance and support.
