Manhattan Annulment Lawyer Ryan Besinque Explains How Important Consummating Marriage Is in New York

Jun 23, 2022

June 23, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Manhattan annulment lawyer Ryan Besinque releases a new article (https://www.besinquelaw.com/how-important-is-it-to-consummate-a-marriage/) that explains the importance of consummating a marriage in New York. The lawyer points out that once a couple has entered into a marriage, it is presumed they would live together and consummate the marriage through sexual intercourse. However, not all marriages are like this.

According to the Manhattan annulment lawyer, "A married partner may only seek an annulment based on specific criteria. In the case of the consummation of a marriage, it is only necessary grounds for annulment if one party has a physical incapacity that prevents them from doing so, and it was discovered after the marriage."

The lawyer explains that a court declaring that the status marriage is no longer valid is called an annulment. Even though the marriage was valid at first, it can be annulled.

Attorney Ryan Besinque states that once a marriage has been declared valid, it will be deemed null. While the marital records of the couple might still be valid, they can decide to end their marriage. An annulment of marriage might make it null, but it won't affect the legitimacy or the responsibilities for parenting.

In the article, attorney Besinque identifies five reasons why a New York marriage can be canceled. One of these reasons is that one spouse is too young to marry, the other is mentally ill or incapacitated, the other has an incurable mental illness, consents to the marriage by force, and the third is that the spouses are unable to consummate the marriage.

According to the divorce lawyer, “Although an annulment voids the marriage, it does not affect the legitimacy of the children or the couple’s responsibility to them. When there are minor children involved, child custody and support are factors that still must be dealt with in an annulment. The court can order child support, custody, and visitation, similar to a divorce.”

Lastly, the divorce lawyer emphasizes that it is important to seek the help of an experienced attorney when it comes to matters like annulment and child support. Having a skilled lawyer may be able to help the client understand what their rights are and what steps they should take next to ensure a favorable outcome.

No backing down: POC chief Bambol Tolentino stands firm on 8-gold target in Asian Games

MANILA, Philippines — Despite early setbacks on Day 3 of the 2026 Asian Games, Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) President Rep. Abraham "Bambol" Tolentino remains steadfast in his prediction that Team Philippines will bring home at least eight gold medals. In an exclusive interview, the POC chief made it clear that he is not backing down from his high expectations for the national squad. "There's no backing down from this. Like I said, there's nothing wrong with dreaming. It doesn't cost anything—it's free," Tolentino stated, emphasizing that the tournament has only just begun. When asked where the expected gold medals will come from, Tolentino rattled off a deep roster of remaining contenders, including mixed martial arts, Alex Eala, Carlos Yulo, EJ Obiena, boxing, athletics (Busong), 3x3 basketball, Mobile Legends, and jiu-jitsu. "That’s more than ten potential events. So we haven’t lost hope at all. We will definitely win golds," he declared. Tolentino highlighted that surpassing the country's previous four-gold haul remains highly achievable. He noted that today's Filipino athletes receive significantly better financial support, training allowances, and foreign coaching to help them level the playing field against heavily funded naturalized competitors from rival nations. His final word of encouragement to the athletes: "Just keep fighting. There are no replays... use strategy as well. Once you're ahead, don't get overly eager." "The gold rush is still on! Keep the faith, Pilipinas!" TMT

Cone expects ‘full review’ after Gilas’ disappointing Asian Games campaign

MANILA, Philippines — Over a week after the PBA-backed Philippine team failed in its bid to retain the country’s basketball title in the 20th Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, Gilas coach Tim Cone expects a “full review” of the team’s performance. The Manila Times asked the American mentor when the post-Asian Games evaluation be, but he gave no time nor date. “Not yet, but there will be a full review,” Cone said in a short response. Cone’s Gilas-Asiad squad didn’t have regular national players led by Dwight Ramos, AJ Edu, Kevin Quiambao, along with young big man Kai Sotto in Japan. Ramos and Co. are not given the green light to play by their respective clubs from Japan and South Korea since the Asian Games is not sanctioned by FIBA. Their unavailability left Cone with no choice but to form a separate Gilas team dedicated to play in the Asian Games in Japan. Sans naturalized player Justin Brownlee, who continues to recover from multiple injuries to his knee, hamstring and leg, Gilas got whitewashed twice by the Korean national team during their two-game invitational in Suwon, a week before the start of the Asian Games. The Philippines then opened the Asian Games with an 85-89 shocking loss to Bahrain, which was reinforced by four naturalized players. Gilas managed to redeem itself by smashing, 109-78, but disaster struck when the national squad suffered a 105-61 shellacking at the hands of China that dealt the death blow to the country’s title-retention hopes. South Korea went on to beat host Japan for the gold last Sunday, 67-57, while Iran subdued China, 79-70 to grab the bronze in the Asiad.
