DIVORCE VS. ANNULMENT
A divorce and an annulment are similar in the sense that they both make a determination about a couple’s marital status. However, the importance difference between the two is that a divorce ends an existing, valid marriage, whereas an annulment declares that a legal marriage never existed in the first place.
Florida does not have a statute that specifically addresses annulments. The requirements have instead come from binding court decisions. These decisions constitute Florida’s annulment laws.
