An annulment is granted when a marriage is voidable or void from the beginning. In order for a marriage to be eligible for consideration for an annulment, this decision must mean that there was a defect at the time the parties entered into the marriage. This distinction is what allows for the court to declare it invalid. Unlike a divorce, an annulment rewrites history as though the marriage never occurred. If you make the decision to have your marriage annulled, it will appear almost as if it never existed at all. That is why many couples choose to make this decision, so that they can be eternally free from their past, and embrace the freedom to restart their life without any unnecessary ties to a former partner that they no longer need to have a connection with. Even so, many regulations exist within the legislation around annulments to ensure that your assets remain secured, including the protection of individual property rights for each party.
The grounds for annulment in New York State can be found under the NY Domestic Relations Law §140. This law provides several different grounds for annulment and dictates when an annulment of the marriage can be requested.
