For insights into family legal matters

Believe it or not, divorce was illegal in South Carolina until 1949 and in Nebraska until 1972! Before then, couples had to prove extreme circumstances, like abandonment or abuse, just to separate.

Today, California is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you don’t need to prove wrongdoing to end a marriage. If you're considering divorce, FADEM Law is here to guide you through the process with care and expertise. 💼

Think annulments are only for short marriages? Not always! In California, an annulment can be granted regardless of how long you’ve been married—but only if certain legal grounds exist, such as:

⚖️ Fraud or misrepresentation (one spouse lied about something significant)
⚖️ Bigamy (one spouse was already married)
⚖️ Incapacity (one spouse was unable to consent to the marriage)

An annulment is different from a divorce because it legally erases the marriage as if it never happened. If you believe your marriage qualifies, Fadem Law can help you navigate the process.
