I got married a month ago and was wondering whithin how many days can you get an annullment? Do both parties have to agree to sign, before an annullment can be done? Do we have to go back where we got married to do it in person? I know it's different in every state I guess. Got married in Hope,Arkansas.

HOPE THIS HELPS....SORRY!

Grounds for annulment
Grounds for a marriage being voidable or void ab initio vary in different legal jurisdictions, but are typically limited to fraud, bigamy, and mental incompetence including that:

Either spouse was already married to someone else at the time of the marriage;
Either spouse was too young to be married, or too young without required court or parental consent (unless, in some cases, where the marriage continued beyond the age of consent, which validates it);
Either spouse was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the marriage;
Either spouse was mentally incompetent at the time of the marriage;
If the consent to the marriage was based on fraud or force;
Either spouse was physically incapable to be married (typically, inability to have sexual intercourse which persists) at the time of the marriage;
The marriage is prohibited by law due to the relationship between the parties. This is the "prohibited degree of consanguity", or blood relationship between the parties. The most common legal relationship is 2nd cousins; the legality of such relationship between 1st cousins varies across the world.
Prisoners sentenced to a term of life imprisonment may not marry.
The guilty party -- the one with responsibility for having caused the defect in the marriage -- is ordinarily disentitled to request a declaration of nullity. The victimized spouse may ordinarily apply for innocent spouse relief. The fact that a marriage was a nullity ordinarily does not prevent an innocent spouse from collecting the financial benefits of marriage, such as the rights to community property, spousal support, child support, and equitable contribution to attorney fees for litigation expenses.

I would call a lawyer and ask them but getting an annulment depends on different factors not just time married. I do believe that both parties have to agree to the annulment thought and I think you can file in whatever state that you are a resident of

You have to get a lawyer and file the papers. As for the legal restrictions, it's different in every state, so call a lawyer.

And for some unsolicited advice, next time don't marry a man you barely know.
