Answer 1

Can you prove your Ex was never baptized?

"If one of the parties to the first marriage was not baptized, and that non-baptism can be proven, and the person who is applying for this process was not the cause of the breakdown of the marriage, then a Privilege of the Faith case or Petrine Privilege case, can be sent to Rome and the non-sacramental marriage can be dissolved, leaving those parties free to remarry."

Answer 2

I really don't think that being or not being baptized matters when it comes to an annulment in the eyes of the government. In the eyes of the church possibly, but I really doubt it there too, especially since you weren't married by a church official to begin with. While many marriages are performed in a church or by a church official that is more for God's (or other religious) blessing then for legal purposes. I think that your best bet would be to contact a lawyer and get ready to file for a divorce.

Answer 3

Marriage is a legal institution as well as a religious one. An annulment means the contract (marriage) was never valid in the first place (such as, if he was already married when he married you). Justice of the Peace and Preacher, Priest, Monk, whatever all play the same role, it doesn't matter who married you. If you have the Marriage Certificate and the marriage is valid (as long as he didn't force you into it against your will or enter into it when he was unable to - due to a previous marriage or false identity, etc), you cannot have an annulment. You will need to get a divorce.

So to reiterate, his religious practices and beliefs, believe it or not, have nothing to do with the marriage in the eyes of the law. Ultimately it's run by legality over religion.

Talk to a lawyer.

Answer 4

2 different issues here: Different states have different legal grounds for annulment of a marriage. Typically these involve marriage to an insane person, a relative, or if you co-habitated for a very short length of time (like never).

Religious annulment, which it sounds like you have grounds for, is obtained strictly through the church. Whether or not you get one is nearly always dependent upon the Bishop in charge of your diocese. Of course if you were married by a justice of the peace to a person who was not baptized, you may not be married in the eyes of the church. You should consult with your priest and for your own peace of mind, go ahead and petition the church for an annulment.

Answer 5

If you simply no longer want to be married, get a divorce. In most states the annulment versus the divorce is of no difference other than if its called one or the other. Also,if you slept with her a annulment is not possible.

Answer 6

No, these are not valid reasons for an annulment(at least in the legal sense). If you are a Catholic, and are seeking an annulment, you will have to speak to your priest. But, legally, you will be divorced.

Answer 7

I don't think that has anything to do with it. You need to find out what your state law says about annulment. Some states only allow it if it is within 9 months of marriage. If you are talking about Catholic upbringing you need to go talk to your priest, I think they make the decision on that.

Answer 8

Has nothing to do with getting married or getting an annulment....call an attorney

Answer 9

Legally you are married. If you are speaking of a church annulmet that is different. The church can not anull a government sanctioned marriage and it be legal.

Answer 10

You can petition the pope for an annulment. I think it would be ok.
