Legal Separation

Some parties opt for a legal separation instead of a divorce. Some parties will elect to separate to avoid the branding of a divorce that is sensitive to their religion. Some separate because of financial issues regarding insurance coverage and other benefits. The differences are fully up to you. The actual process is similar to that of a dissolution of a marriage in that legal papers are filed, and the parties are mandated to resolve issues so that an agreement can be made and judgment ultimately entered. She will guide you to determine what is the best course of action for your situation.

Annulment

Obtaining a decree of annulment is based on a specific statute and requires a process that is distinct from a divorce. Parties must establish their claims within one or more of the specific grounds set out in the statute, and sometimes, the cases involve highly contested litigation when the parties dispute the underlying facts. An annulment cannot be stipulated by the parties; it must be determined by a judge. The proceedings must comport with the established body of law. The issues will involve marital status, the division of assets and debts and can even include custody. Karen S. Brown understands these issues and will assist you in carefully strategizing your case.
