Understanding the Difference Between Divorce & Annulment
Divorce and annulment are two distinct legal processes for ending a marriage. A divorce formally dissolves a valid marriage and involves decisions about asset division, property, child support, and other financial matters. An annulment, on the other hand, declares that the marriage was never legally valid in the first place—essentially erasing it as if it never occurred. If there are issues such as property or children involved, a separate petition must be filed when pursuing an annulment.

Annulment Essentials for Texas Residents
- Frequently Asked Questions About Texas Annulment
- How an Annulment Differs from a Divorce in Texas
- Eligibility for an Annulment
Not every marriage qualifies for annulment. In Texas, annulments are granted for marriages that are either void or voidable:
- Void marriages are considered illegal and never legally existed. These include:
- Marriages between close relatives (such as siblings, aunts and nephews, uncles and nieces, ancestors and descendants)
- Marriages where one party is already legally married to someone else
- Marriages to someone under age 14 (or under 18 without court approval or parental consent)
- Marriages that occur within 30 days of a prior divorce
- Marriages conducted within 72 hours of obtaining a marriage license
- Voidable marriages are those that were legal at the time but occurred under conditions that could justify annulment. Examples include:
- Intoxication at the time of the ceremony
- Fraud, deception, or coercion
- Mental incapacity to consent
- Permanent impotence unknown at the time of marriage
The Annulment Process in Texas
To seek an annulment in Texas, one of the spouses must live in the state or the marriage must have taken place in Texas. Typically, the petition is filed in the county where one of the spouses resided when the marriage occurred. If the couple had children or adopted during the marriage, a Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship (SAPCR) must also be filed along with the Original Petition to Annul Marriage. The court will then decide on child custody, support, and visitation.
