The Catholic Church believes that God does not recognize civil divorces.
"Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." (Mark 10:9)
However there may be hope of a declarations of nullity.
The term "annulment" is a misnomer because the Church does not undo or erase a marriage bond.
Rather the Church issues a declaration of nullity when it discovers that the parties were not truly joined by God and hence a full spiritual sacramental marriage as understood by the Church was not present.
Then the parties are free to marry for the first time.
Church law specifically provides that even if a marriage is declared null, the children born of the marriage are still considered legitimate (canon 1137, http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__P43.HTM).
With love and prayers in Christ.

sunlight hours communicate teach? on condition that even as does absolutely everyone on a sunlight hours communicate teach do something remotely everyday? do not go by their party. the reason those human beings are on such shows is because they do issues "otherwise". An annulment isn't the same project as a divorce, if it truly is what you're questioning. A divorce dissolves a reliable marriage in words of political regulation, yet no longer God's regulation. An annulement is a press release that, for although reason, a valid marital union in no way existed contained in the first position. that's the reason the annuled can remarry although the divorced can not. you could nonetheless request the Church have a canon lawyer look into the opportunity of annulment. it truly is a lenghly, time-ingesting procedure the position there is not any assure that is going to end with an annulment. on the problem of the youngsters, by who's criteria are they illegitimate? the reason each and every human beings exist is because God willed it - no matter if the father and mom did not. From God's aspect oif view, there is not any such project as an illegitimate baby. even as a wedding ceremony with babies is annuled, no detrimental stigmaa are all of sudden utilized to them, on condition that they bear no duty for the marriage annulment.

an annulment means the marriage never happened, and it's suppose to go thur the Pope to make it official, and in order for either or both parties to re-marry. so since the marriage didn't actually take place according to the church your children are?????
i have nothing against different religions, but this is one of the many things i don't understand about the catholic church.
good luck in the future.

--Is Catholic--
I am going to assume that you are feeling abandoned and want to fight this.
As far as having children, an annulment has no effect on them. An annulment simply says that the marriage was not valid for one or more reasons. As long as you entered into the marriage in good faith, there is no sin on your part for anything and regardless your children are not effected.
Now according to the laws of the US (assuming you are in the US) your husband can divorce you according to civil law. The Church has no say in this and you would have to fight this according to legal law. Needless to say this is practically impossible to do BUT what you can do is get a good lawyer and make him pay for abandoning you and take everything that you can get your hands on. I suggest this, especialy if you entered into the marriage in good faith according to proper Catholic thought. Right now, I suggest that you get as much of your dual assets in your name only and make sure that your husband is not transferring your savings to an account that is his only. Cancel all dual account credit cards and get your name off of anything that you are in debt for, leaving him with the debt. Get a lawyer and lock things down tight.
As far as the Church goes, Annulments are something completely different from a divorce.
Right now buy this book!
(by a good Catholic Lawyer)
Annulments And The Catholic Church: Straight Answers To Tough Questions (Paperback)
by Edward N. Peters
If you fight against your husband’s request to get an annulment, and the marriage is not annulled, known that you can never get married again until your husband dies. If you do so, you would be barred from the sacraments. Even if you do not fight, the Marriage Tribunal might rule in favor of you being validly married and you will not be allowed to marry again until your husband dies. Especially if your husband is a good Catholic, fighting the request for annulment, can get him to turn around and return to the marriage.
However, let me recommend that you adhere to the ruling of the Church, whatever it might be.
If you want to try to turn him around, let me suggest that you make it a condition of signing papers that he reads the following:
The entirety of Pope John Paul II ‘s “Love and Responsibility”
In addition, get a hold of the following:
Article by C.S. Lewis, "have we no right to happiness", located in CHRISTIANITY TODAY which you can buy online ctlibrary.com/3370. It is also located in the book God in the Dock by Lewis.
A part of Sheldon Vanauken’s book “UNDER THE MERCY” The (False) Sanction of Eros (143-149 in by book).
God bless you!
