Annulment Vs Divorce Clarification

Summary

In Kentucky, annulments are generally not possible after a divorce has been finalized. Annulments declare a marriage invalid from the start, while a divorce legally ends a valid marriage. Since your husbands previous marriage has already been dissolved through divorce, the option for annulment is not available. If you need further guidance, consulting with a local family law attorney is recommended for personalized advice.
