An annulment can be more cost-effective than a divorce because it legally declares a marriage invalid, avoiding the need for a lengthy divorce process. However, the cost can vary depending on individual circumstances and legal fees.

Should annulment or divorce be the last option in ending a marriage?

Annulments are generally done within days to weeks after the marriage because the couple are too young; they may have been drinking and gotten married without realizing they did not love each other, etc. Divorce should always be a last option in ending a marriage because the couple took their marriage vows 'for better or for worse.' In modern society it appears it seems easier to cheat or run away from a marriage and not realize and be mature enough that marriage takes hard work and determination between the couple. However, if one of the spouses is verbally or physically abusive; has a drug issue and is not willing to get help; continuously cheats on their spouse; the male will not work to support the family, etc., then this would be grounds for a divorce. There is also an option of 'separation' so that the couple can live apart in order for them to calm down and each give themselves time to figure out if they really love their partner or they should finalize with a divorce. Additional information: There is no competition between divorce and civil annulment. Divorce is the final option for ending a marriage. Any married couple is entitled to end their marriage by divorce. Every couple is not entitled to a civil annulment. The grounds for civil annulment are more narrowly defined than grounds for divorce. The grounds for civil annulment are limited and very from state to state and from country to country. Most annulments follow a short term marriage. Some states do not allow annulments when the marriage produced children other states allow annulment after a long term marriage and the court will divide marital assets and assign child support or/and alimony. Grounds include the following: Bigamy Incest Fraud Insanity Mentally Disabled Impotence Under Legal Age of Consent Marriage Not Consummated Incompetence Duress Misunderstanding Concealment Incapacity Due to Drugs or Alcohol
