With fraud and misrepresentation, a third party affidavit is sometimes required, e.g. if you claim that your spouse married you for “a green card”, your judge might require an affidavit from a third party who is aware of the situation, especially if your spouse will not sign an Answer that supports your claim.

Also, with fraud and misrepresentation, keep in mind that some judges require you to attend a prove-up hearing, though we do our very best to avoid this entirely, and when it’s unavoidable, Mr. Smith appears at court for you while you simply attend over the phone.

The flat-fee for the attorney covers the attorney representing you in front of the court for your uncontested annulment; all documents needed to file and take your case through court; making sure your case progresses properly through the court system; corresponding directly with the court regarding your annulment. In short, anything and everything that needs to be done to take your annulment from start to finish provided your case is not contested and no court hearing is requested by the judge. If these things occur, there will be additional fees.
