How do I know if I need an annulment?

If either party has been married before, whether in the Catholic Church or by any other civil or religious authority, you would need to obtain an annulment. This is for both Catholic and non-Catholic parties.

For more information, please contact Regi De Spain.

An annulment would be petitioned for if:

  • you are a divorced Catholic who wishes to remarry in the Catholic Church
  • you are a divorced Catholic who has already married outside the Catholic Church
  • you are a divorced non-Catholic who would like to marry a Catholic
  • you are a divorced non-Catholic who is married to a Catholic outside the Catholic Church
