Subject: Ingy. I have family members who have left marriages because of really good reasons..................the annulment thing is very, very, very difficult if not impossible. Perhaps, it's the invasison of personal things that just turns the whole process off......................Kate

Subject: Like I said, I've known several people who have gotten annulments in the Catholic Church with no problems and fairly quickly even. And they were in different states, so it was not one church granting them. I dunno. ~i&b

Subject: Hi Kate, it's not impossible but it can be difficult. My sister in law got an annulment from her first husband (they were only married for 11 months) and it took her about a 1 1/2 years to get it finalized.

Subject: I agree with i&b. I have a friend who got an annulment. Yes, it took some time, 18-24 months; but she didn't have to jump through hoops nor swim the channel.........tomorrow

Subject: The people I knew all got their annulments in a matter of a few months. So I guess there is quite a range. ~i&b

Subject: I had one friend (abandoned by his spouse) who sailed through the process in record time, and another friend (abandoned by his spouse) who has been trying usuccessfully for years to get an annulment. Both of these are in the same state (Mississippi). I think the difference is which priest is assigned to that particular case. Some are pretty lenient, and want to get the annulment handled quickly. Some are very strict, and want to get lots of depositions, history reports, etc, and can stall the process for a long time ... Ricky

Subject: Ricky. I think you are absolutely right about getting the right priest. I have a friend who went to our retired priest and he lead her through the whole process and she did the paper work , etc. ...herself! Good for her.............Kate
