ANNULMENT VS. DIVORCE
While a divorce legally dissolves a marriage, an annulment treats it as though it never happened. In the eyes of the law, an annulled marriage is void, and there are several reasons to annul a marriage. The reason for your annulment must have existed when the marriage took place. While you have to wait 60 days for a divorce in Texas, an annulment can be obtained immediately. If the marriage is annulled, it’s as if it never happened. An annulment is permanent and, once approved, cannot be reversed.

UNCONTESTED DIVORCE
There are several benefits of an uncontested divorce, such as speed, less costly, typically settles amicably, sets the tone for civil future interactions, and often it requires no contested courtroom appearances by either spouse. It is very important to have the Final Decree of Divorce written up by a divorce attorney to ensure the terms are legally binding.

"COMMON LAW" DIVORCE
Common law married couples must pursue a formal divorce like anyone else. The difference, however, is that the couple must prove to a court that they were in a common law marriage. In most cases, the person who initiates divorce is the one who tries to prove the existence of the common law marriage. There is a rebuttable presumption that if divorce proceedings are not initiated within 2 years of the end of the relationship, there was no common law marriage. Couples ending a common law marriage must file for divorce before that 2-year window closes.
