Each State controls and determines what grounds and requirements must be met for either a divorce or an annulment. You may receive an annulment in most States if:
DIVIDING ASSETSMany times, annulments occur after very short marriages, so there is no need to divide assets or debts or decide custody of children produced by the marriage.
Unlike divorces, which can be settled without an attorney, you will need to use legal representation when filing for a marriage annulment.

Couples who seek an annulment will have their marriage completed erased from the marriage books. Annulments are commonly used by Catholics who wish to remarry after the marriage has failed.
In most States a marriage cannot be annulled just because the marriage lasted only a few weeks or months. Buyer's remorse and absence of sexual intercourse by themselves are not grounds to annul a marriage.
In the case of a longer marriage that is annulled, the court will determine the dividing of assets, debts, and custody.
