Valid reasons for annulment

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Catholic : One Thread

Hi there, let me first express appreciation for this forum. Great job!!!! Anyway, here is my story: I am going through the annulment process at this time, all the papers are submitted to the local tribunal office and it is time to be reviewed before being sent to the arch diocese for the final go nogo. History of my case, was married to my now ex wife at first by a JOP, and then six months later in the Catholic church. Four kids and 10 years later my ex decided to divorce me for another man (which was preceeded by years of committing adultery, lies...). This was over 8 years ago. Also, my ex got divorced from the man she left me for, and is getting ready to get married for the third time. Since then I met an absolute wonderful lady, who is also catholic, and got engaged to her last August (she has never been married). Of course we are anxious to see if my annulment goes through to be able to have a church weeding. According to my advocate, I had plenty of reason to have an annulment granted. However, comments made by the tribunal make me question if I have enough grounds for the annulment. First question, does it look like I have sufficient grounds for an annulment? Second question, are there any other reasons that I may have overlooked (possibly something very obvious)? Third question, would it be grounds for an annulment if one of the parties was not a believer at the time of marriage? If you have any questions toward me to help clarify some issues here, I'll be more than happy to address any. Thank you, Hans
