What are the requirements for the annulment of a marriage?

Answer

Annulment (also referred to as "nullity" outside the U.S.) is a means of "erasing" a marriage so that legally, it never existed.

To successfully seek an annulment, you must file your request with the court within a certain amount of time. This time frame will depend upon a couple of different factors - where you live, the reason for the annulment, and when you first discovered the condition that renders your marriage invalid.

Answer

These are the most common ones

Polygamy, Insanity, Impotence, Incompetence, Incest, Mental Disability, Duress, Fraud... There are other "grounds" for annulment, but they are different from state to state. I found that small list on http://www.assisteddivorce.com/annulment.html

Answer

That would depend upon the state laws where the marriage took place. In some states there is a specific time limit pertaining to annulment proceedings and other contributing factors. The best option is to consult with an attorney who specializes in domestic/family law. Most attorneys offer free consultations or charge only a nominal fee.
