+A divorce is a court order which ends a valid marriage. An annulment is a court declaration that a marriage is invalid. If the court declares that, it is unnecessary to get a divorce.
 For example, a marriage might be invalid if one spouse was already married when he or she married the other person, if one of the spouses was under the age of 16 at the time of the marriage ceremony, or if a spouse married someone other than the person he or she intended to marry. If the court finds that the marriage is invalid it will make a declaration that the marriage is void, as if it had never happened. It is important to know that even if a marriage is annulled, the parties are still able to make claims against each other about the parenting of children, the payment of support and the division of property and debt under the ''Family Law Act''.
