I'm actually getting married in the Church in about two weeks and I've gone through classes about the marriage issue. Catholics believe marriage is permanent. When you say I do, you are in it til death. The only chance you would have for getting out of a marriage is by having it annulled. That means, straight from the beginning, in God's eyes, you two were not meant to be and the church will get rid of any records of you being married. If you get divorced, but not annulled, the Church will not let you remarry in its name. I don't know for sure about the child custody issues, but I do know that Catholics are all about family and they would want you to keep your family a family as best you can. So I guess that means sharing.

The Catholic Church believes that God does not recognize civil divorces.

Jesus said, "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.

The procedure is the same whether or not there are children in the marriage. If a declarations of nullity is granted then the children are still considered legitimate and retain all legal rights.

I don't know of any Catholic position on child custody.

With love in Christ.

The Catholic Church's position on marriage is that it is forever -- and there is no option there for anything else --

When I divorced (and it was because my ex was abusive/violent, and abused the children besides stealing property from me and damaging/destroying property, stalking, etc) -- I asked about Annulment -- and the first thing the Priest said was

it will take $600 to start the process (at that point -- I snapped -- and I REFUSE to set foot in any Catholic Church ever again.

NEVER, EVER will I EVER give one more penny to such a repressive, greedy, sexist and downright discriminatory organization -- one which says it loves all, but in reality -- when you have disabled children -- and look to enroll them in religious classes, but on the wall of the room is a sign that outlines ALL their symptoms and tells you that they will NOT allow this in the religious classes (wow -- just horrible to see this right off the bat), then you NEVER want to do anything again.

According to the Church, the children of a marriage remain children in the eyes of god -- throughout their lives, even if you are divorced or the marriage is annulled.

Marriage is a scared bond of 2 people. If there is a need for divorce it can be justifiable if there is adultery or abuse. Need an annulment and a divorce to settle custody issues. I just got granted an annulment so I can be married in the church again. This time til death do we part.

The Roman Catholic Church is fairly organization----What God has joined at the same time,no guy can placed asunder. for this reason, divorce is a no-no. even nonetheless, the church isn't that insensitive,whilst a pair is already on the verge of killing one yet another, or there has been fraud on the area of any companion, like he/she has a ailment, etc., the marriage situation could nicely be extra beneficial to the church tribunal, and be evaluated. Annulment of the marriage could nicely be granted, becuase because of the fact the church might say, "God has no longer joined them at the same time". there became no union interior the 1st place. The church perspectives toddlers because of the fact the 1st to be afflicted by a broken marriage, and Jesus has a comfortable spot for toddlers, it incredibly is why Jesus mentioned---"enable the toddlers come to Me".

who cares, honestly!! You can still have god in your life, and he is a very giving and forgiving god. He loves you and your children no matter what, Stop worrying about what the CHURCH is going to think of you, and worry about what is RIGHT for you. Your soul prupose in life is to perfect for God, not for the catholic church.. What is right for you is not what is right for the other people that are going to judge you. Honestly!!! A church is nothing more than a gathering place to make you feel as though you have sinned, sinned and sinned some more. Sorry I obviously am not a believer in the Catholic church.. They are people, that are judging you, and our god does not judge... So you need to do what you need to do to perfect for God.. Best of luck, and sorry to the catholic followers..
