London, January 2018: The disputes originating in families can turn ugly if not resolved in time. Family solicitors in Aberdeen receive several cases pertaining to marriage annulments, divorces and child rights. One of the leading teams, DJP Solicitors has been actively helping its clients in the most complex of matters and is delivering favourable results.

Annulment, similar to divorce is a way to end marriage. However not many understand the difference between these two. As per laws in the UK, a marriage can be annulled at any time after the wedding. However, if the couple has stayed together for a year and do not make any legal complaints against each other, they have to apply for a divorce if they later decide to separate.

Marriages can also be annulled if they were not legally valid when the ceremony originally happened. Couples who are closely related – such as siblings, first cousins and others in any other direct blood relationship – cannot be married to each other. Such a marriage can be annulled in the UK. Secondly, if one of the two mutually married people was less than 16 years of age, he / she is not considered married in legal terms. Also, if any of the two was already married or in a civil partnership earlier and did not end that relationship on legal basis, the new marriage will be considered invalid.

People who feel victimised by a ‘marriage’ against their wish can approach family lawyers specialising in matrimonial cases to get the matter resolved. DJP Solicitors is one such team that has proved its expertise in resolving hundreds of cases since the legal firm was founded.

Mary Sander (name changed to conceal identity), a client of this company says.” My husband had been cheating on me even before we got married but our matrimonial relationship was still solemnised in a church of Leeds. I found out about his affair four months after the marriage and could fortunately apply for annulment instead of dragging myself through divorce proceedings that could’ve turned complex. DJP Solicitors guided me through the case and I could unshackle myself from this meaningless relationship soon. I also recommend their services to anyone who needs help on divorce matters.”
