Dissolution of marriage, or divorce, is a legal proceeding to end a marital relationship. A legal separation involves the same procedures as a divorce, but remarriage to another person is prohibited. When an annulment is granted, the judge is saying that your marriage is void; or, legally, the marriage never existed.
