No you are not going to hell!
You must be a Catholic. The Catholic relligion is the only one that I am aware of that "sells" annulments. I say this with love. I was raised a Catholic and much of my family is still Catholic.
Let me tell you my story.
When I married I married outside the church. Unfortunately that did not last very long. When I wanted to remarry, my soon to be spouse thought he wanted a Catholic wedding. We talked to the priest -- of course my first husband and I had to get an annullment AND my soon to be also had to get an annulment.
Now remember the church did not recognize my marriage nor did they recognize my soon to be's. As a matter of fact I had priests going to my folks and telling them I was living in sin. I was not married in the eyes of the church.
They could not explain to me why an annullment was necessary if I was not married in their eyes. This is the churches way of being able to ask personal questions about you to anyone that knew you and your exhusband. They can dig all they want and it will be on record.
I also wanted to know why they insist on making a marriage null when there are children involved. In essence they were making my son illegitimate when the annulled my previous marriage.
He had no acceptable answer for me. Something about it is just the marriage not the children....... (My son was a product of that marriage)
The church in essence actulally had no answers for me. I floated for quite a few years and then I found a church that actually taught from the Bible. They were not afraid to use both the old and new testaments.
As I understand it there are several valid reasons for getting a divorce. As my pastor told me -- Adultry can be comitted in various forms.
I hope I don't sound too harsh. I spent quite a few years in the Catholic church and there are many wonderful people there. I have a problem with some of the doctrines but I do not have a problem with the people. PLease understand that.
Contact me if you would like to "talk " about this more.

I don't think that person is considered a divorcee if a marriage has been annuled. An annulment is basically saying you and your spouse/partner were never married to begin with.
Now if you and your partner were living under the same roof under the illusion of matrimony (that's what it would be if an annulment is granted), then comes the question of "living in sin."
I'm not going to say if said person will end up in Hell; only the Lord will make a judgement on that. However, he/she would do well to make peace with God before that day comes...

Whether the person goes to hell is up to God, ultimately.
In such a case, what the divorcee has really done is entered into an adulterous relationship.
That's because there was no Church annulment of their previous marriage -- which means that in the Church's eyes, and in God's eyes, the marriage still exists.
So, since the "remarriage" is in the Church's eyes really an adulterous relationship, and since adultery is a grave sin, the person is in spiritual jeopardy if he/she doesn't repent.
But never fear -- it's possible to be granted an annulment from the first marriage, even if the person has entered into a "remarriage." The person would have to confess and repent of the "remarriage" before being able to receive Communion.

Repent of what?????????....
A divorcee is a respectable person as any other married or not married. The very same church is granting annulments, making bastards of all the children of a previous marriage, what do you think a remarried person could be repented of???....

Well technically the Bible says that once you are married that is it and if you divorce ( i don't think there was annulment back then) and remarry then you are guilty of cheating on your first spouse because in the eyes of the Lord you are still married. It is a sin and can be forgiven by repenting.

i actually have a sprint of project with the divorce interior the bible. i understand that Jesus pronounced which you're enable to interrupt you marriage off if there has been adultery, yet, there are soooooo many marriages accessible that get divorce because of the fact they have abusive spouses, the place one in all them is been emotionally, bodily and morally abused. My own opinion is that each and every physique which is floor for divorce, God did no longer carry each and every man or woman to this international to be linked to somebody "till dying do us aside" who's making your existence a dwelling hell by how they cope with you, they could no be cheating on you, (yet you probably choose they do tho). So, base on all that and the affection of God i don't have self assurance that somebody who has a real reason to break up will burn in hell, which would be one in all countless question that i visit ask God while we bypass to heaven. God bless!

Heaven/hell is judgement, reserved for God Alone. Annulments are specific to certain religions, and marrying after divorce without obtaining one might bar you from receiving the sacraments.

Check out a Catholic Catechism, or ask a parish priest.
I don't think that I can honestly answer that question.
I have family who has done this. I know that they are in the wrong, but I don't want to think that they will go to hell for it, although they might.

You get saved by the mercy and grace of God. Jesus died for all of your sins. We all fall short from the glory of God. Seek repentace with all your heart, and He will forgive you.
Imagine how a Christian killer Saul was called for a big job!
Imagine how adulterer and murderer David was called the man after God/s own heart.
Concentrate on having a personal relationship with God. He will forgive.

An annulment erases a marriage, and neither are considered a divorcee.
Your question is moot.
