An annulment is not really a divorce, although it does dissolve a marriage. However, annulments basically treat the marriage as though it never happened. Annulments are difficult to get, particularly if the marriage is long. Ground for annulment include misrepresentation or fraud, concealment, refusal or inability to consummate the marriage, or a misunderstanding.****

I just finished my masters in criminal justice and here is some information you may want to look into and see if they things you say goes into play. The time limit is three years (not one year). This does not run from the date of the marriage, but the date the fraud was discovered, or could reasonably have been discovered. One or both parties were not old enough to enter the marriage contract; There exists a close blood relationship between the parties; One party was still legally married when the current marriage occurred; One party was impotent and unable to consummate the marriage; One of the spouse's didn't have the mental capacity to enter into a marriage contract. (i.e. due to drunkenness or mental disability)
One of the spouses entered into the marriage under duress, threat, or force. The marriage was entered into fraudulently. This may be due to the concealment of impotence, criminal history, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.

An annulment and a divorce are two totally different things, but you can get them both immediately after the marriage has been consummated, if you wish.

My uncle got one after 2 years of marriage. If your family is friendly with a priest, it makes things easier.

I'm pretty sure that depends on what state you are in, but in California it is two years.
