i googled this for you. It is close to my heart as I found out that My girlfriend of two years is marrying her ex for security and financial reasons-- I am a grad student and while we are the soulmates--I cannot help her with her financial debt which is coupled my very impulsive buying habits. I will be out of grad school and soon land a job that could save the day--but then i think that I need to forget about her and let her live her marriage of little real love and comfortable misery. but i want to believe that she could come around and nullify it. sorry for the spiel, hopefully what i found helps. Her fiannce is catholic too:
A marriage may be declared null by court only on the grounds provided for by the Family Law. General grounds for the nullity of transactions are not applicable to marriage. Thus, a marriage which is contrary to law is in effect until the court declares it null. The court may nullify a marriage if conclusion of the marriage took place while violation of provisions applicable to marriage occurred. A spouse who is a minor, his/her parent or guardian have the right of claim in this case.
The basis of declaring a marriage null is the conclusion of marriage irrespective of the restrictions provided for by law. The spouse or any other person whose rights have been violated by conclusion of the marriage have the right of claim.
The court may also nullify a simulated marriage. In that case the spouse has the right of action.
The Family Law establishes two new grounds for nullifying a marriage: if the consent to conclude a marriage was achieved by fraud or duress against the will of a person getting married. However, it should be pointed out that if fraud and duress were used to induce a person to marry and the person did so, it is not possible to nullify the marriage on such grounds. In case of fraud and duress, it is not relevant who used fraud or duress to make a person agree to get married. Only the spouse whose consent to marry was gained against his/her will has a right to bring action for nullifying the marriage.

It would depend on the reasons she has for wanting to have the marriage nullified. If the marriage has been consumated, though, it might be a bit hard. If you go to any of the birth, death & marriage offices they should be able to tell you what the procedure is.

Most marriage have limits to be either cancelled or nullified. Check out from your local county your requirements and your rights are. Most states give couple upto 90 days to make changes or cancel their marriages which may appear as though they never got married. Please check out at your nearest county clerk office.

yes if there was a lie and she thought he was telling the truth that is one way. i assume she is catholic they can hide stuff or have been married before or had kids there are many things that can be nulled. if shes catholic and its a preiest she can talk to him and you know if its nothing but money to do this about 300 or so costs for this.
