How is an annulment different from a divorce?
Similar to a divorce, an annulment is a court procedure that terminates a marriage. The difference is that an annulment treats the marriage as though it never happened. A divorce ends a valid marriage, deeming the marriage contract broken, whereas an annulment declares that the marriage never existed. Annulment is rarer than divorce. If you want to go this route, you will definitely need to speak to an attorney. Of course, if you want an annulment for religious reasons, you may need to consult with a clergy person as well.
