An annulment means that the marriage never happened, e.g. you were never married from a legal perspective. The conditions and time limits for annulment vary from state to state. Check the link below and search for "annulment".

It depends on the state you're from, but I know that in California, you can get a marriage annuled any time up until a year of marriage has passed. Annulments are just less paperwork than divorces, I believe. A good friend of my husbands' just got an annulment, and all he did was go to the county clerk, get some paperwork and then had his wife served with the papers....

An annulment is a procedure to make the marriage null and void. It is as if it never happened. Probably the time limit depends on the reason for the annulment.

I read your other two questions concerning this issue, so I know where you are coming from. You really have to talk to a lawyer to get the best answer, but since you haven't been married for very long, I would think that an annulment is within the realm of possibilities.
You certainly have reasonable grounds for ending your marriage.
I learned a long time ago that you don't really just marry your spouse. You end up married to his/her family.

Annulment is done by the catholic church I believe. If you were married in one go see the local parish priest. You do realize that the approval is sent to the Vatican don't you? Be ready to shell out some $$$.

i recognize the remark from the perfect guy "the authentic tale". How authentic ! Your buddy is a coward to have married this woman and did not opt to achieve this, now he's using you to help himself get annulled. at the same time as is he going to take administration over his personal life?

You'd have to see what your Church's rules are on the process. I believe most include consummation. Once that happens, it's divorce. I know of one other reason and that would be that one of you is already married and the other didn't have knowledge of this before hand. Major debt I believe is also a reason, but not sure.

It depends on the State that you live in. See a lawyer.
