A declaration of nullity does not make any child of the marriage a bastard. That is a civil thing-Illegitimate=bastard. The annulment is granted because the church court decides on the evidence that there never was a sacrament of matrimony. This process can only begin after the civil (secular) procedure of divorce is final. Neither divorce or annulment makes a child of that union a bastard.
