    Annulment is a legal procedure for declaring a marriage null and void. I don't think there's a required time.

    Grounds for a marriage being voidable or void ab initio vary in different legal jurisdictions, but are typically limited to fraud, bigamy, and mental incompetence including the following:

    Either spouse was already married to someone else at the time of the marriage in question;

    Either spouse was too young to be married, or too young without required court or parental consent. (In some cases, such a marriage is still valid if it continues well beyond the younger spouse's reaching marriageable age.)
    Either spouse was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the marriage;
    Either spouse was mentally incompetent at the time of the marriage;
    The consent to the marriage was based on fraud or force;
    Either spouse was physically incapable to be married (typically, chronically unable to have sexual intercourse) at the time of the marriage;
    The marriage is prohibited by law due to the relationship between the parties.
    This is the "prohibited degree of consanguinity", or blood relationship between the parties. The most common legal relationship is 2nd cousins; the legality of such relationship between 1st cousins varies around the world.
    Prisoners sentenced to a term of life imprisonment may not marry.
    Concealment (e.g. one of the parties concealed a drug addiction, prior criminal record or having a sexually transmitted disease)

    I am not sure of the amount of time, but I do know annulments are much trickier than a divorce... much harder to get.
    Its best to find out your state's laws, to make sure what you can & cannot do. Then you can go from there.
    Here's a link I found for Nevada state law, it may help:

    There is no time limit but there are several rules. A common ground for annulment is fraud. But if you live with the other party after discovering the fraud, that cannot be a basis for your annulment. Generally speaking, you stand a much better chance of getting a marriage annulled within a few weeks or months after marriage as opposed to a long marriage.
