A Nullity of Marriage or Domestic Partnership (Annulment) is a legal action to determine that a marriage or domestic partnership is not legally valid. An annulment restores the parties to the status of single persons, as though they were never married.

• Certain conditions must be met before an Annulment is granted.
• The person who files for the annulment will have to prove to the Court that one of the conditions for an Annulment has been met.
• There are no residency requirements.
