What steps are involved in an Annulment?
A. 7. Four steps are involved in the annulment process. They are: a. The Preliminary Investigation and Formal Testimony of the Petitioner. This involves the first interview by the Advocate with the person applying for an Annulment. This interview provides basic information about the meaning of an Annulment and its process. During this meeting, the Petitioner is given a Form called the “Preliminary Investigation Form” that needs to be completed at home. This Form asks basic questions about the family background of both parties, their dating and the marriage. The Petitioner is also asked to provide names of witnesses such as family member, relatives and/or friends who have personal knowledge of the Petitioner, the Respondent and their marriage. In most cases, the names of the children cannot be used as witnesses because they were not born when the parents were married. Once the Form is completed, the Petitioner returns it to the Advocate along with a copy of both, the Civil Marriage Lice
