An annulment is a court action that declares basically the marriage never happened. Each state has their own rules as to what is allowed and if it is even allowed. If there is issues with property, children and the such an annulment is not possible normally. In general annulments happen when a couple were togetehr for a very short time and separate for some reason.
There is also a religiouis annulment which has nothing to do with the divorce, it is merely a religious degree that has no bearing on civil issues at court. | | |  | Ultra Member | |

| | | It could depend on your area, but you may not be eligible for an annulment. Annulments only take place for marriages of a very short duration (ex: weeks, months). | | |  | Ultra Member | |

| | | An annulment is ordinarily based upon some type of fraud, such as, the spouse was married, or some other lie. A divorce is a petition to terminate a marriage based upon any number of grounds, the most recent being the marriage is irretrievably broken, and/or mental cruelty. Other than that, they are about the same. | | | | New Member | |

| | | Like learningasIgo said an annulment has very specific guidelines to qualify so if your marriage was a typical marriage, no fraud and has lasted more than months you would not be eligible. So unless she was cheating on you from the start and got pregnant before or as soon as you got married then I doubt you would be eligible for annulment. | | | | Ultra Member | |

Is Adultery grounds for annullment? | Alimony, child support, division of property, and payment of debts are issues arising in the action for divorce, where dissolving the marital relation is the issue in annulment. In either case, the parties are qualified to remarry. See: annulment - legal definition and misrepresentation - legal definition | | |
