The only way to obtain a civil annulment that legally dissolves your marriage is by proving one of the grounds established by state law. These often include fraud or misrepresentation, lack of consummation, incest, bigamy, lack of consent, unsound mind, or force.
A marriage can be annulled only when the law considers your marriage either void or voidable. Examples of void marriages—unions that aren't legal to begin with—are where there's bigamy or incest. An example of a voidable marriage is one that took place when the spouses were highly intoxicated.
To justify annulment, there must be a defect in the marriage contract—e.g., incompetence of one party because of age, insanity, or a pre-existing marriage. Continued absence of one party also justifies annulment. Thus, in some places, one party may get an annulment if the other is sentenced to a long prison term.

Unlike in a divorce or legal separation, in an annulment a judge can't always divide your property and debts or order spousal support. A judge can only do this if they find that one of you is a putative spouse. A putative spouse is someone who in good faith believed their marriage was legal.
Notably, New Jersey law does not specify a specific time limit for seeking the cancellation of a marriage. However, waiting too long to seek an annulment may weaken the claimed grounds for cancellation if the annulment is challenged.
