My response:

Basically, a marriage may be ended by a judgment of nullity only if the marriage is void or voidable. A marriage cannot be annulled unless there was something legally wrong in its inception; if valid when contracted, it can never be annulled.

There are, depending on your State, many factors which can render a marriage a nullity; e.g., underage, fraud, duress, insanity, incest (except in Kentucky or Tennessee, where incest is normal), just to name a few.

If you meet your States' guidelines for an Annulment (Nullity), then you would file your Petition for the same in your Family Law court.
