GENERAL INFORMATION

An annulment voids a marriage.  This means that once an annulment is granted the parties were never legally married.

There are two main requirements to file for an annulment.  The first requirement is that one spouse must have lived in Nevada for at least six weeks prior to filing or the spouses must have been married in the state of Nevada.  The second requirement is that the spouse filing for an annulment must have the proper grounds for annulment. 

To read more about the procedure for obtaining an annulment in the state of Nevada you can download the Center's informational brochure on annulment
