If a couple owns property and their marriage is dissolved by a civil annulment, property will be divided much the same as it is in a divorce if they cannot come to a mutual agreement. Also, child custody and child support will be addressed similarly if the couple has children.
Consult a S. Carolina state lawyer to determine how to obtain a secular/state annulment. This is the Catholic Answer section. Obtaining an annulment in the Catholic Church has nothing to do with secular/state law except to the extent that the couple seeking an annulment in The Catholic Church must first obtain a Decree of Divorce from the state.

You need to discuss your situation with an attorney if you want a civil annulment or clergy if you want a religious annulment. You will need to disclose personal details and then get your advice from the professional on your options and how to proceed. It is likely that if you go for a religious annulment you will also need a civil divorce.
No, the spouse wishing to end the marriage would need to file for a divorce, in some states it is referred to as a dissolution of marriage. The prescribed divorce procedures required by the state of residency also apply to a spouse who is incarcerated.
A Common Law relationship is effectively not a legal relationship in the marriage/civil partnership sense....people can live together, but should one partner die the person they are living with have no definite legal rights to any possessions of the person who is deceased. The possessions go to the blood relations unless the deceased persons will decrees that their life partner should inherit their possessions. Effectively, you can live together with anyone but if you want legal rights: if you're heterosexual get married, and if you're homosexual get a civil partnership.

Janet Jackson's marriage to James DeBarge was annulled primarily due to the couple's tumultuous relationship and DeBarge's struggles with substance abuse. The marriage, which took place in 1984 when Jackson was just 18, faced significant challenges, including DeBarge's legal issues and personal problems. The annulment was finalized in 1985, just a year after their wedding, reflecting the difficulties they encountered during their brief time together.

Before answering this question I'll need to address a few aspects of it in light of the teachings of the Catholic Church. First Catholics can never get a divorce. Instead they may be able to get an annulment. The difference is that a divorce ends a valid marriage while an annulment is a declaration that a valid marriage never occurred. For example if you married a woman and afterward found out she was still married to someone else your marriage to her would be invalid from both a Catholic and secular perspective. In that case the purely secular way to deal with the issue would be to get a legal annulment, not from the Church but from the government, declaring that your "marriage" had not in fact occurred. The Church teaches, based on Jesus's statement in the Bible--Matthew 19:3-10 that what God has put together let no man tear asunder or Luke 16:18 are two places to check--, that if a marriage is valid --both partners were capable of being married and both understood what they were doing and it was performed in the proper form--then it cannot be ended. Hence the Church does not now nor has it ever allowed divorce. The Church does recognize that not every marriage ceremony results in a valid marriage. For example if two Catholics are married outside of the Church without a formal dispensation from their Bishop their marriage is not recognized as valid by the Church. As a result it would be possible to get an annulment in that case. The annulment would be a formal declaration that a valid marriage had not occurred. Now that we understand that the Church does not have the power to end a valid marriage and that it does have the power to recognize that a marriage was never valid we can address the rest of the question. First just because you have been divorced does not mean you cannot receive Communion. If you are living a chaste life--which would, among other things, prevent you from remarrying-- then you can receive Communion after a divorce assuming you meet the normal requirements, ie fasting for an hour before receiving and not being in a state of mortal sin. Second I don't believe you have to pay for an annulment if you are really so poor you can't afford it. Additionally an annulment is much cheaper than a civil divorce. The reason the Church does request money is that the process of deciding if the marriage was valid can be very time consuming. Many people may need to be interviewed for example in some cases. A Cannon lawyer may be needed as well and it is not unfair for him to be paid for his time. Thirdly the reason that the Priest needs your personal information is to determine if the marriage was valid in the first place. Sometimes this is easy--you're Catholic and you were married outside of the Church without a proper dispensation-- other times it may be harder. Also note that unlike civil divorces which are pretty much always granted an annulment is only granted if the marriage was invalid. If you believe in the teachings of Christ then you know that there is no way to undo a valid marriage. Hence the Church has to be careful to ensure that when it issues an annulment that in fact no valid marriage occurred. Finally I'm not sure that no non-Catholic Christian groups don't have rules similar to the Church. However the reason the Church has these rules is because the Church follows the clear teaching of Jesus Christ that marriage, if valid, is only dissolved by death of either the husband or the wife. God calls us to a radical commitment to our spouse; one that cannot be abrogated by anyone,not even His Church.

The key here is that you have been "married" for 7 months. Being legally married , whether or not you live any of that time together, in the terms of the law, you are still legally married. Since the annulment period has surely run out long time ago, you will be faced with obtaining a divorce. This is so unfortunate - while one spouse is away serving our country to protect ours and other's freedom, the other spouse decides to find another way of life. Sad, but true.
