| Annulments
or (Declaration of Nullity)
Anyone
who has been married and divorced may seriously wish to have their marriage
assessed by the Tribunal or Marriage Court of our Church. this process
involves gathering the necessary documents, and with the help of
an Advocate assists the person thru the long process. It determines
the causes for the demise of the marriage. For many this has been a very
healing
process. Some cases are resolved faster than others. It generally takes
about a year and not all cases are resolved.
This
does not declare that the marriage never existed, nor the children are
illegitimate, but that the marriage had some serious problems or flaws.
Sometimes there are other reasons for this process. This process
ends with a Declaration of Nullity document.
To
begin this process contact either the priest, deacon, or Director of
Religious Education, who will put you in contact with an Advocate,
who will work very confidentially with the person to understand
and work thru the process. |
