What are the requirements to get a divorce through the catholic church?

Answer 1

I believe that the only way that you can become divorced biblically speaking is if there was a act of betrayal such as a cheating spouse...

Answer 2

Alright there is no such thing as a "divorce" in the Catholic Church. If you choose to get divorced then you can not remarry in a Catholic Church. However if this is what you would like to do, you will need whats called an annulment. The only way to get remarried in a Catholic Church is with an annulment. This can cost A LOT of money to put through as it is a long process that includes the Vatican council. You should be able to call your local bishops office for information.

Answer 3

One cannot get a divorce through the Catholic Church.

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 declaration 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.

Approach the appropriate person your in your parish who has been trained in the process. If you encounter difficulties, you may go directly to the diocese.

Be prayerful, honest and patient. It takes a while.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

you can only get an annullment from the Catholic Church, AFTER you get the divorce in your country. The annullment may take 5/6 years (here in my country) but I have heard that in the USA it takes less...........it requires a lot of work and paperwork but if you really want it, you can make it.
I did and I got it after 6 years. So, nowadays, I am considered SINGLE before the Catholic Church and hoping to meet someone nice that I can marry again at Church.

Answer 5

You can get a divorce through the Catholic church, only through the law of the country you live in.
You can get an annullment through the church. Talk to your pastor, or research the paperwork online.

Answer 6

Don't even bother with the catholic church. They are so far out of touch with reality, it wouldn't do you any good. If you want a divorce, do it legally and then move on with your life. The catholic church would never be able to give you any good usable advice.

P.S. Just take a listen to these people talking about annulments. So you can be "good" in the eyes of God and be allowed to get married in the church again, but ONLY IF you pay enough money to the catholic church in order to get an annulment? How pathetic is that.

Answer 7

That's called annullment. The catholic church doesn't believe in divorce. Either you go through the process or annullment or nothing.

Answer 8

The catholic church does not allow divorce in any shape or form. However, they do allow annulments on certain grounds. An annulment is as if the marriage never happened. For more detailed answer about annulments please follow link.

Answer 9

only consider an annullment if you feel you will get re-married again and wish to do it in the catholic church. if that's not on your agenda, then really, don't bother. but the requirements are that you and your ex need to fill out this lengthy questionnaire and the church reviews your answers and finds which answer(s) will enable an annullment.

Answer 10

They call it an annulment and you need to talk to your priest to get things going. I do know that sometimes they charge for this and it has to be approved and used to have a good reason why. Nowadays, who knows. My ex father-in-law after 5 kids and 22 yrs. of marriage got one. It cost him more $$ though. You still have to get a divorce in whatever state you were married too... which means more $$$
