Although many websites claim to provide such services as divorce and annulment online, they are only reviewing claims and preparing documents electronically and they are not actually performing the process and making it legal. The reason that a divorce or annulment online is impossible is because such actions require court hearings and formal appearances by those parties involved. While it might seem easier to pay someone to handle all of the paperwork, it pays to be a bit more involved, especially with annulment. This is because it is up to the couple to prove that their claim for the voiding of their marriage is legal and valid. Some common reasons couples are awarded an annulment is if their marriage lasted less than one year, if one spouse has no intention of remaining faithful, or if the marriage wasn't valid to begin with.
