ARE THERE OTHER COSTS BESIDES YOUR ATTORNEY FEE?
Yes. Those costs vary depending on whether a one signature annulment is filed or a two signature annulment is filed. Those costs include court-imposed filing fees, service of process fees (for a one signature annulment) and publishing fees (in certain circumstances). Other costs may apply. We always ensure that our clients have a full understanding of all costs before we begin to represent them. Please contact us for a detailed assessment of your particular situation.
DO I HAVE TO BE A NEVADA RESIDENT TO GET A NEVADA MARRIAGE ANNULMENT?
For individuals who were married in Nevada, the law allows you to obtain a Nevada marriage annulment regardless of which state or country you live in. For individuals who did not get married in Nevada, you must be a Nevada resident to get a Nevada annulment. You are considered a Nevada resident for purposes of obtaining an annulment after you have resided in the State for at least six weeks.
HOW LONG DOES A NEVADA MARRIAGE ANNULMENT TAKE TO COMPLETE?
The time it takes to complete a Nevada marriage annulment varies based upon several different factors, including whether a one signature annulment was filed or a two signature annulment, what type of service of process is required and the number of cases the judge has who is assigned to your case. In general, a two signature petition is completed in approximately 1-3 weeks while a one signature petition is completed in approximately 10-16 weeks.

WHAT IF I HAVE A HEARING BEFORE MY ANNULMENT IS GRANTED AND I LIVE OUT OF STATE?
Generally, hearings are not conducted by judges prior to a Nevada annulment being granted. Where hearings are required, and except for a few narrow sets of circumstances, judges will now let out of state residents “appear” at any hearings they are required to attend over the telephone. In addition to you appearing telephonically, an attorney from The Lancaster Law Group will appear in court on your behalf to represent you.
