  1. Understanding legal perspectives on annulment in Singapore

  2. Annulment is a legal practice that completely dissolves a marriage by completely voiding it. Legally, it's as if the marriage never happened. An annulment declares that the marriage was invalid and therefore never existed. After a successful Annulment in Singapore, both parties’ marital status will return to being ‘single’ rather than ‘divorced.’ Our Family lawyers in Singapore have extensive expertise representing both parties seeking annulment and parties who have been served with an annulment. Reasons for an Annulment: Annulment in Singapore requires that the marriage should be void or voidable. A void marriage occurs when an error prevents the essential elements of a legitimate marriage from being met. For example, the marriage was not officially solemnized, or it was a marriage between close relatives. Examples of voidable marriages are: • Non-consummated marriages where one party willfully refuses to consummate the marriage. • Non-consummated marriages where one party is unable to consummate the marriage due to any reason. • Requirements for an Annulment: • According to the legal system, you can seek annulment even if you have been married for less than three years unlike for divorce. You may seek an annulment if both parties are residents of Singapore at the time of filing.

  3. How Do You Apply for Annulment of Marriage? • The first step in asking for an annulment of marriage is to acquire the necessary documents and information. You will require a copy of your marriage certificate as well as the birth certificates of your children if needed. To prepare the Statement of Claim, your lawyer needs have the following information from both parties: • Religion • Education level • Address • Citizenship • Occupation • Date of birth. • The annulment process in Singapore will take 4 to 6 months to complete; if your husband contests, the period will be extended. Even if the marriage is canceled in Singapore, the children born from it are still considered legitimate. While going through the annulment process, our Populus Law Corporation's experienced family lawyer will understand your case scenario and be able to advise you on legal matters right away, as well as help you stay strong throughout the process if you have a good case to file for annulment in Singapore and identify the key issues. While it is feasible to apply for annulment in Singapore on your own, you should consult a skilled Singapore family lawyer.
