An annulment is a judgment by a court that retroactively invalidates a marriage to the date of its formation. Annulment legally erases the marriage. The result of an annulment is that the marriage will be considered if it never was. Children from an annulled marriage are still considered to be legitimate -- conceived in and born into a legal marriage and legal child of both spouses. Religion is the most common reason for choosing annulment over divorce. Although most annulments take place very soon after the wedding, some couples seek an annulment after they have been married for many years.
The state of Georgia recognizes common law marriage if created before 1/1/97. Under common law marriage, couples who act like they are married, hold themselves out to the world as married, and intend to be married are considered legally married. Filing joint tax returns, referring to each other as “husband” and “wife,” and using the same last name are typical indicators of a common law marriage. If you live in Georgia and your marriage was created before 1/1/97, then you are legally married and must get a divorce to end your marriage.
