Re: legal separation/annulment

Yes, legal separation is applicable even if there are no substantial or tangible property to divide. But as long as you are at it, go for the annulment. Legal separation does not give you the freedom to get married again, while an annulment allows you to get married legally again. The costs are practically the same.
