What this typically includes

Assessing whether you have a ground at all, preparing and filing the annulment petition, assembling the proof the ground requires, and appearing at the hearing where you testify. Court filing fees, service of process, and any records, translations, or expert evidence are separate. A contested annulment, or a fallback divorce if the annulment is denied, is billed on top.

Clementon, NJ Equitable distribution state

An annulment declares that the marriage never legally existed, so in principle there is no marital estate to divide at all. New Jersey softens that through the putative spouse doctrine: a spouse who genuinely and reasonably believed the marriage was valid is generally protected, and the property is then divided “fairly, but not always equally” under the same statutory factors New Jersey weighs in a divorce. A spouse who knew about the defect usually falls outside that protection, and because the split is discretionary rather than fixed, the argument itself tends to be wider.

Annulment attorneys in New Jersey usually charge a flat fee when the petition will be unopposed and bill hourly once a spouse contests it, on top of the New Jersey court filing fee. The available grounds — bigamy, a prohibited relationship, under-age marriage, incapacity, fraud going to the essence of the marriage, force, concealed impotence — and the deadline attached to each are set by New Jersey statute and vary widely, and most states also bar the claim if you keep living together after learning the truth, so confirm both locally before relying on either. Whether New Jersey allows spousal support after an annulment is a separate state-law question, and a religious annulment has no effect on any of this.
