Common Issues in Annulment Actions in Nevada
Under NRS 125.290(2), an annulment proceeding is a proper manner to dissolve or void marriage and resolve other issues arising from the dissolution of the relationship. Under the principle of comity, “the courts of one jurisdiction may give effect to the laws and judicial decisions of another jurisdiction out of deference and respect.” Mianecki v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 99 Nev. 93, 97-98 (1983).
In some cases, the parties will each file an action in a different county or a different state. So even if the Court has jurisdiction in Clark County, NV, the Court might still decide to defer jurisdiction to another court as a matter of comity. Id. at 98.
Nevada Law sets out several different statutory reasons for an annulment. The most common reasons include:
- fraud or misrepresentation;
- a lack of consent by a parent or guardian if one of the parties was under the age of 18;
- after the wedding one of the parties learned the other had been declared insane before the marriage;
- a want of understanding because of alcohol or drug intoxication or impairment;
- the marriage was void because the parties were related by blood;
- one of the parties was married to another person at the time of the second marriage.
The parties can seek an annulment if it is alleged that they married solely to obtain a green card of U.S. citizenship, to avoid deportation, or after concealing the fact that he would not fulfill a prenuptial promise to become a U.S. Citizen.

Catholic, Church or Ecclesiastical Annulment in Las Vegas – The parties might seek an annulment instead of a divorce for a variety of reasons. One of the most common reasons for seeking an annulment instead of a divorce is for religious reasons, particularly when no children were born during the marriage.
