Getting an Annulment is harder than You think.

Contrary to popular belief, an Annulment is only granted to those whose marriage is illegal and shouldn't exist in the first place. Even then of course, proving that your marriage is illegal and therefore qualifies for an Annulment can be harder than you think.

The predefined scenarios or grounds for Annulment are different from State to State. Here is a list of the the most common ones:

To get an Annulment, you must convince a Judge that your marriage is illegal (see grounds above). To do so, you will likely need the help of an Attorney who specializes in Annulment cases. With that in mind, an Annulment will usually be more expensive than a divorce since the Attorney's fees will quickly add up to thousands of dollars.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Having been married for only a short period of time is not a valid ground for Annulment.
• Living together (cohabitation) at any time could disqualify you from an Annulment.
• A Canonical Annulment, given by the Catholic Church, is not a real Annulment.

Uncontested Divorce as an Annulment alternative

Often people who start with an Annulment in mind end up filing for an uncontested agreed divorce instead. If you and your spouse feel that you shouldn't be married, and simply want to end your marriage without any unnecessary hassle, an uncontested divorce may be an option to consider. It's a popular alternative for those who don't or may not qualify for an Annulment.
