What We Do
If you do not live in Nevada, we can help you prepare, file, and complete your annulment in court. 99% of the time, you do not have to come back to the state.
However, if you do live in Nevada, you may want to consider having us prepare and file a divorce for you instead of an annulment.
Divorce vs. Annulment
While many people get confused, annulment is indeed different from divorce. The former is a legal procedure that “states that the marriage was never valid” and erases the marriage as if it never happened. Divorce, on the other hand, is a legal procedure that ends a “valid marriage.”
Why People Get Annulments in Nevada
- Religious reasons – mostly because they are part of the Catholic church
- Filipino law – in the Philippines, divorce is banned
- Non-residents – people were married in Nevada, but are not residents of the state
If you do not qualify for an annulment and you live outside of Nevada, do not worry, we can still help you. We are qualified to prepare divorce papers in all 50 states.

Residency Requirements
You must have either (1) been married in the state of Nevada, or (2) lived in the state of Nevada for at least 6 weeks to ask for an annulment.
Time Limit
In Nevada law, there is no time limit for a married person to ask for an annulment. However, judges typically look more favorably towards you if the marriage has been less than a year.
Grounds for a Las Vegas Annulment (No Fraud)
There are several reasons for you to ask for an annulment. Below are a few common reasons that individuals have used in asking for it:
(a) The husband and wife were intoxicated or under the influence of drugs at the time of their marriage, which caused a want of understanding (NRS 125.330) between the parties. This means they were incapable of properly agreeing.
It would be beneficial to have at least one or two witnesses sign a sworn affidavit of this fact so you can give it to the court. Aside from that, you and your spouse must not have lived together after you have become sober.
(b) You and your spouse were under the age of 18 and did not get the consent of a parent or guardian (NRS 125.320). It is also crucial that you did not live with your spouse AFTER turning 18. In addition, the annulment must be filed BEFORE you reach the age of 19.
(c) You and your spouse are blood-related. This is also known as consanguinity between the parties (NRS 125.290).
(d) If you or your spouse were already married to another person, you can get your marriage annulled (NRS 125.290).
Grounds for a Las Vegas Annulment (Fraud Involved)
There are several grounds and reasons that you can ask for an annulment in Las Vegas based on proven fraud (NRS 125.340). Once you have received knowledge of the fraud, however, you must stop living with your spouse.
You should be able to provide evidence supporting the fact that your spouse committed fraud. This evidence can include documents, receipts, or sworn statements from witnesses that are signed and notarized.
Listed below are common reasons that people have used when asking for an annulment based on fraud:
Citizenship/Green Card/Illegal Alien Issues

How Much Does an Annulment Cost
Depending on the case, there are several steps involved to get an annulment in Las Vegas. We have THREE primary types of annulment packages.
Option #1 – Joint Annulment
If both you and your spouse agree to the annulment, you are qualified for a joint annulment.
It is one of the easiest and most affordable annulments in the state of Nevada. The papers need to be signed by both parties. Your spouse will also have to acknowledge the receipt of a Waiver of Appearance and Acceptance of Service.
A joint annulment is signed by the judge within six to eight weeks after all of the proper paperwork has been filed.
