Florida Divorce Lawyer Russell D. Knight Discusses the Possibility of an Annulment in Naples, Florida

Naples, Florida family law attorney

Florida divorce lawyer Russell D. Knight (https://divorceattorneynaplesfl.com/can-i-get-an-annulment-in-florida/) releases a new article explaining whether an annulment is possible in Florida. The lawyer mentions that according to the Black’s Law Dictionary, an annulment means an event or judgment that is treated as if it never happened. Marriage annulment will make a marriage disappear as though it never happened in the first place.

According to the Florida divorce lawyer, “Fraud is one of the few grounds for annulment. Fraud is the making of intentional misrepresentation, with the knowledge that the other party will rely on it, and attaining the other party’s consent as a result. Basically, lying about something important in order to get the other person to marry you.”

The lawyer explains that if an individual uses fraud as a ground for annulment, one question will be whether the thing they were lied to is important enough to count as fraud. However, in Florida, if the marriage has been consummated, fraud is not allowed to be used as a basis to annul the marriage.

Attorney Russell D. Knight adds that another ground for annulment is duress. Duress happens when there is some level of pressure strong enough to remove the willful consent of one party. The duress must also happen throughout the entire process of the wedding.

In the article, Attorney Knight also discusses bigamy. Bigamy is also another ground for a marriage annulment. This term simply means that a person is not allowed to marry again if they are still married. In Florida, bigamy is considered a felony in the third degree.

The divorce attorney also adds, “What happens if a marriage is annulled? Well, neither spouse is eligible for any kind of benefits for spouses. This is especially important as it relates to wills and life insurance policies. This begs the question ‘can an annulment happen after a person has passed?’ No one knows the answer to this particular question as no court has addressed it yet.”

Lastly, the Florida divorce lawyer stresses that it is important to consult an experienced attorney when dealing with matters such as a divorce or an annulment. A skilled attorney might be able to help clients understand their rights and responsibilities during the divorce or separation process.

Committee week in Florida’s Capitol: Welcome to the festival of ignorance

Image
Legislators came to town for the autumn ritual of political harlotry they call “committee week.” Tallahassee’s collective IQ dropped by a good 60 points. That’s bad, but what they propose doing to Florida is worse. Seems Sen. Joe Gruters, R-$ara$ota, who also is chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, was intimately involved with a plot to quash the Democratic vote. Remember that “ voting reform ” bill the governor signed on “Fox and Friends” last May? The one that restricts access to ballot drop-boxes, limits vote-by-mail applications, forbids giving people standing in long lines a bottle of water, and lets partisan poll watchers police canvassing boards? Even though Florida ran an immaculate election in 2020, Republicans goose-stepped in time with the Madman of Mar-a-Lago and claimed with straight faces they merely wanted to prevent election “fraud” — which is about as common as polar bears in Miami. (What fraud there was, was courtesy of the GOP .) Joe Gruters ...

U.S. House GOP would make it easier for feds to give public lands away to states

Image
U.S. House Republicans included in the new rules for the chamber they passed this month a provision meant to make it easier for Congress to give away public lands. The provision is a fairly technical piece of the 55-page  rules package . It affects internal House accounting and requires that anytime Congress were to give any federal lands to a state, municipality or tribe, it would not be counted as a loss to the federal budget. House Republicans had an identical rule when they controlled the chamber from 2017 to 2019. Advocates and critics agree the measure would be helpful to any effort by the House to transfer federal lands to states. But they disagree about the wisdom of such giveaways. Republicans and conservative groups see states as preferable stewards of most public lands. Those closest to the land are in a better position to make decisions on how to manage them than those in Washington bureaucracies, they say. Environmental groups and Democrats see federal divest...

Democratic governors press U.S. Senate to act on voting rights legislation

Image
WASHINGTON — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and 16 other Democratic governors are urging the U.S. Senate to pass two bills that aim to protect voting rights. Both measures need 60 votes to advance under Senate rules but have been stalled by Republican opposition in the evenly divided Senate. “Without decisive action by the federal government this year to protect voters’ access to the ballot and ensure the integrity and transparency of our elections, the voices of Americans across the country, especially Americans of color, will be suppressed,” the governors wrote in a Monday  letter  to U.S. Senate leadership. Governors who signed the letter include Jared Polis of Colorado, Tim Walz of Minnesota, Steve Sisolak of Nevada, Phil Murphy of New Jersey, Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico, Roy Cooper of North Carolina, Kate Brown of Oregon, Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania and Tony Evers of Wisconsin, among others. One bill, known as the  John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2...
