| Annulment | |
| Statute: | N.C.G.S. § 51-3 |
| Description | An annulment voids the marriage, rather than simply ending it. |
| Takeaway | Successful annulments are extremely rare. |
Annulments are when a court invalidates the original marriage, rather than just ending it through a divorce. Many spouses ask about an annulment, because it is the only way to avoid having to wait 12 months to terminate the marriage through a traditional divorce. However, annulments are rare and generally you will need to wait out the 12 months.
