Annulment and divorce are often confusing to many people, and they are remarkably different actions. Divorce views a marriage as having reached some sort of irresolvable issue and is a legal way to bring it to an end. Annulment, on the other hand, deals with marriage in a way that makes it appear to never have existed at all. While a divorce will have many legal reasons for it to occur, so too will annulment, but the annulment considers any marriage to have been invalid or illegal from the very outset and therefore something that does not have any further considerations once it has ended. This means that, unlike a divorce, an annulment may have no legal way to divide assets or establish spousal support because the law views the union as completely invalid.
