An annulment is quicker than getting a divorce but there are several requirements you must meet in order to get your marriage annulled. Usually, the marriage must be based on fraud. Without extenuating circumstances you will not be able to get an annulment. Please be advised nothing in this response is intended to create an attorney-client relationship and is simply for informational purposes only.

It may be much more difficult to prove either insanity or fraud.

An annulment takes the same amount of time and is more difficult to get that a dissolution.

Annulment is quicker as long as you meet the tests. No six month waiting period.

If you have ground for an annulment the judgment is final when it is signed. On a dissolution the judgment is final from 6 months from the date of service of the Summons and Petiition.
