a null ment?

Question

Divorce

Answer 1

There are certain qualifications for an annulment I do believe. Typically I think the marriage has to be less than a year....but there are other *rules* as well.

Basically a divorce ends a marriage, an annulment acts like it never existed.

Answer 2

Nullification of a marriage is commonly called annulment. Annulment is the process by which a Court states that a marriage never legally existed. An annulment must be based on mental illness, fraud, forced consent, physical incapacity to consummate the marriage, lack of consent to underage marriage or bigamy. Children of a marriage annulled for bigamy or mental illness are legitimate. In anullment cases, the court may award custody of children of the marriage and require payment of child support and support of a party. Annulment is different from divorce.

Divorce is when the Court ends an otherwise legal marriage as of a specific date. Divorce usually involves dividing marital property and debts, setting up child custody and visitation (parenting time) schedules, and awarding child and spousal support. Divorce happens when either the husband or wife can prove the requirements or grounds to end the marriage.

Answer 3

In EVERY state you can have an annulment (it's all one word) if you can prove fraud, or if the marriage has not be consummated...however IF the couple had sex prior to the wedding they have already consummated the marriage and have to get a divorce even if they don't have sex after they're married. Catholic marriages have to be annulled before one can get married in the church for a second time as well.

Answer 4
