When you’re going through a divorce—or just considering initiating one—knowing what your options are is key. That’s where the family law attorneys at Payne Law Office in Lincoln, NE come in. As experienced divorce and child custody lawyers, they can provide the kind of legal advice that thoroughly covers all your choices.

What’s the difference between a divorce and an annulment? An annulment is a procedure that “cancels” a marriage, as opposed to divorce, which “dissolves” it. In other words, an annulment effectively stipulates that a marriage never legally existed, whereas divorce, in acknowledging the existence of a union, leaves both parties free to marry again.

Both processes, however, require specific legal grounds. These can range from bigamy to adultery or issues pertaining to mental and physical abuse—though it’s also possible to pursue a “no-fault” divorce, in which neither party is identified as the guilty one. Divorces are almost always more complicated than annulments, as they involve things like the division of property and marital assets, as well as child custody and child support issues and visitation rights. Alimony is also frequently a factor.

Whatever your situation is—and whatever option you choose to pursue—you can rest assured that the compassionate, knowledgeable professionals at Payne Law Office will be there for you, and your family, every step of the way.
