Annulments are legal alternatives to divorce available to individuals who entered into marriages under illegal or fraudulent circumstances. Annulments are entirely separate from divorces, and they do not include the complexities of division of assets, child custody, child support, alimony, etc. This is because executed annulments create a situation where a previous marriage legally never existed. It is important to understand that this is wholly separate from an annulment granted by a religious institution such as the Catholic Church.
