How long can you be married and still get an annulment in SC?
As long as the requirements of an annulment are met, there’s no statute of limitations (time limit) for filing an annulment. Two people who enter into a bigamous marriage in good faith (i.e. didn’t realize it was bigamous and therefore void) have legitimate children.
Can a marriage be void?
Like an annulment, a suit to declare a marriage void focuses on reasons why it wasn’t a valid marriage at the start of the marriage. However, unlike an annulment, a void marriage is automatically not legally a valid marriage from the start whether or not a court decides it so.
