What is the difference between a Divorce and an Annulment?
The big difference between a Divorce and an Annulment is that an Annulment makes it so that the State does not recognize you were ever legally married. An Annulment literally erases the fact that you were once married. For example, after obtaining an Annulment you would not have to disclose for any purpose that you were “divorced,” you would simply be considered “single.” To obtain an Annulment you do have to qualify under specific and limited requirements set by the State.
