Divorce
A divorce results in a complete termination of the marriage. In an annulment, the marriage is voided — it is said to have not been proper in the first place, and thus it is considered as never having happened.
It should be noted that we are discussing civil annulment from his or her house of worship according to that particular person’s faith. The Courts have no power in matters concerning religious annulments. However, a civil divorce or annulment must first be obtained before a religious annulment will be granted by the appropriate leaders of the person's religious denomination.

Separation
A divorce by separation, commonly referred to as a "conversion divorce," is the only true "no-fault" way to obtain a divorce in New York State. In order to obtain a legal separation, you and your spouse must enter into an agreement that settles all the outstanding issues of the marriage — custody, visitation, child support, maintenance, division of assets, etc.
Once the agreement, called the Separation Agreement, is signed and notarized, it is filed with the county clerk’s office. To obtain a valid conversion divorce, the parties must live separate and apart from each other for one year under the terms of the agreement. After the year has passed, either party may start proceedings to convert the separation agreement into a final divorce.
