Is my marriage valid when we only had a marriage ceremony at church and not at the registrar?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gerard A. Fierro (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gerard A. Fierro & Associates
To have a valid marriage, generally a license must be obtained from the proper government office. Then a solemnization ceremony takes place (which could be in a church). The person conducting the ceremony usually would then sign the license and send it back to the government office. Sometimes, if the steps are not formally followed a person can still be a "putative spouse" if they have a reasonable belief that the marriage was valid.

What is an annulment and what is its difference from divorce?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Alfred Edwin Fahlen (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Edwin Fahlen
A divorce divides the community property and obtains a Judgment to terminate the marriage. An Annulment goes back and determines there never was a marriage. Therefore, there is nothing to divide, including children custodial time. If there are children, then a Paternity action is required to deal with the children. An Annulment is usually difficult to obtain requiring the proof of fraud in the obtaining of the marriage, illegal marriage (one person was and is married at the time of the marriage at issue (bigamous), unsound mind, force, physical incapacity. If cohabitation continues after finding out one of the reasons allowed for an Annulment, then that defense may become waived.

Can I move my personal property before I get a divorce?

Answered by attorney Tres Andrew Porter (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Offices of Tres A. Porter
Have either of you served the other with a summons and complaint for dissolution? If so, there are what are known as automatic temporary restraining orders (ATRO)s that would prevent you from disposing or selling community property without mutual consent or Order of the Court. Otherwise, if you are both owners of the storage unit, and you did not take anything that you know to be hers or that is even arguably both of yours, you would seem to have a right to access your personal possessions.
