Another day, another failed TV wedding

Following from our divorce and annulment blog regarding Coronations Street’s Carla and Peter, Emmerdale is now at it!

At first the wedding of Dan and Kerry seemed as though it was doomed from the start, what with the groom nearly failing to attend, but of course everything worked out and the happy couple married in the village church with very lyrical vows.

Their happiness was soon to evaporate however at the reception when Kerry’s husband turned up. Yes that’s right, she was already married.

Luckily we have already discussed the scenarios which determine whether you can apply for an annulment or where you have to wait for a divorce. As Kerry was already married, the second marriage to Dan is void and the marriage can be annulled.

The unlucky bride was later served with divorce papers from her first husband whom she married on a drunken whim in Las Vegas. I wonder if either of them are aware that they could actually apply for an annulment on the grounds that their marriage was voidable because they could not properly consent to their marriage i.e. they were both drunk and weren’t sure that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas.

If you wish to have a chat about the different ways to separate, please give the family team a call on 0113 320 5000.

Wendy Campbell supported me throughout my divorce, firstly with financial settlements and then again with family matters regarding children. I can't thank her enough and would recommend to anyone who finds themselves in this position. Thank you. - September 2025

I moved my divorce to Teresa and Judith from another solicitor that I did not have confidence in and what a difference. Their sensitivity and understanding got me through one of the worst times of my life. Their guidance, support and knowledge through the whole drawn out process is so appreciated. Together we managed to achieve a fair settlement. Teresa and Judith absolutely know what they are doing. I cannot recommend them enough.

Outstanding Legal Support from Start to Finish:From my initial call to the resolution of my case, the firm and its staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. I would particularly like to commend Mrs Harriet Reid, a family solicitor whose dedication and expertise were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome.Despite having less than ten days to prepare, Mrs Reid devoted considerable time and attention to my case. Her legal knowledge, strategic insight, and empathetic approach were of the highest calibre. She displayed remarkable skill in preparing the case for my counsel, ensuring every detail was meticulously addressed.If I ever require legal representation again, I know exactly where to turn.

Teresa and Judith assisted with my recent divorce and i cannot rate them highly enough, i was talked through every aspect and everything was explained in full and i was kept fully updated and imformed of everything that i needed to do and when it was required for. Their patience when i was working away and understanding was especially appreciated.Once that was all complete Amanda and Samantha and the convayensing team sorted the transfer of the house and the paperwork associated with that.I would highly recommend them and thier company for any legal issues you have and would use thier services again without hesitation.
