A: You are likely not eligible for an annulment as you don't seem to meet any of the grounds for annulment. Based on your description, you may be eligible to file for divorce as early as October 20, 2018. One year of separation is the only legal way to divorce in NC. You may however, be able to divorce sooner in other jurisdictions.
