It depends on whether or not those reasons are (a) acceptable within Catholic theology to declare a marriage null and (b) were present at the time you took your marriage vows.
So, if a husband and wife get married, and 10 years later, he has an affair, he is sinning against the marriage vows, but if he took those vows believing he would always be faithful, the marriage is still potentially valid.
However, if a husband and wife get married, and the husband already has a girl on the side and always has one on the side and always intends to have one, but the wife doesn't find out until 10 years later, that is most certainly grounds for annulment.
Every case is decided individually, so the only thing you can do is meet with your priest and present your reasons. He will give you a better idea of your chances.

You can still go to church and be accepted.
As far as the annulment goes, you go to your pastor first. The paperwork will get started, and then it goes to the diocese, where it is considered, investigated, and then ruled on. The priests and deacons have little to do with it.
Your partner will receive paperwork as well as you. It takes two to get married, and two to be annulled. Your partner does have an opportunity to state his side of the story.

the only way you can get an annulment is if the vows in which you took weren't really ment, Like, if you said to have children and be open to new life, and then your husband decided he didnt want children then you would get an annulment or if he cheated which would mean that he didnt stand by the vows of being faithful
My dad got an annulment becuase my mom had an affair, it ment that he could remarry in a catholic church again but she couldnt, it was such a long process for him, but when he got it, he said it was worth the wait
Good luck,

Priests and deacons aren't the ones who do this. You will want to contact the Marriage Tribunal in your local diocese. There will be information on your Diocesan website (I can't be more specific since I don't know where you are.)
Here's the information specific to a Canadian diocese... a lot of the info is generally true worldwide.

Depends on how much money you have. My first wife and I were married in a catholic ceremony and the end result was 2 kids and 14 years of marriage. When we got divorced, her grandmother, who was a strict catholic, told my ex that she could get our marriage annulled. It was going to be expensive, but it could be done. It's all about the money.

You were too young
You were forced into it
Your partner left you and you did not break the vows
You didn't get a proper chruch blessing
You didn't understand what was going on at the time
You intend to marry a catholic who has never been married before and it will prejudice their right to a wedding

no longer as quickly as. Our pastor as quickly as mentioned for the period of a homily that the main significant distinction between us and different denominations (outdoors of orthodoxy), is that we've faith interior the authentic Presence. that we've a attractive present interior the Eucharist that they do no longer proportion with us. It exchange right into a family contributors mass, so he exchange into explaining to the youngsters that different denominations do no longer have fun the Eucharist. It exchange into decrease than no circumstances a slander, merely informative. He exchange into praising different Christians. I want there exchange right into a transcript. ;-) i in my opinion get excitement from his homilies as they are crammed with Sacred custom and the history of the church. it somewhat is probable the 1st time I even have heard a clergyman say something approximately different Christian denominations.

if you can demonstrate that the marriage was undertaken for mistaken reasons and never consummated, the annulment should be a formality.
if the marriage was consummated you may have a problem.

how much are you willing to tithe?
my sister finally gave up on an annulment for her husband's previous marriage and went to the presbyterians.

Just my opinion, but I don't think God cares what priests or deacons decide.
