First, you need to establish that you have grounds for a civil annulment. Each state's requirements for annulment differ, so you will need to find out what your state's requirements are. Here are two resources that may help you determine if your marriage generally qualifies for a civil annulment:

Annulment is given by a judge and isn't always easy to obtain. You can get application forms at your courthouse, however, you should consult a lawyer to see if you do have a strong case for annulment. If not, you will have to go through divorce proceedings.
Read this article about Darva ("Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire") Rockwell's annulment in 2000. The author briefly talks about how this might have been handled in different states:

Good luck, I hope this works out for you!

Go to your local Family Court. You can go to just any court house but they will tell you where to go if it is not the right place. You can also call you local Bar Association and they can help you find a low cost lawyer in your area that will make it easier.
