Divorce is the most common path that couples take when a marriage isn’t working. However, you may have a few options other than divorce, such as separation or a civil annulment. 

Is Annulment Different than Divorce?
In some ways, civil annulments are no different than divorces, but in other ways, annulments differ from divorces. Like a divorce, a civil annulment is a court order that officially brings about the end of a marriage.

However, unlike a divorce, a civil annulment has the legal effect of making it such that the marriage never existed in the first place.
