An annulment is a legal procedure which terminates a marriage between husband and wife. Annulling a marriage basically states that the marriage never technically existed and was never valid.
Dissolution of marriage is the legal term for divorce. It primarily involves reconciling all the rights and obligations between you and your spouse, including custody and care of the minor children as well as child support and/or spousal support.
An annulment generally takes approximately 3 months where a divorce takes up to 6 months.
You MUST have grounds in order for the courts to grant an annulment. Here is a list of common grounds for an annulment:
1. Under age at time of marriage without parental consent
2. Prior existing marriage (Bigamy)
3. Unsound Mind
4. Fraud
5. Forced into marriage
6. Physical Incapacity
