Being remarried in the catholic church poland after being divorced [16]
Morning
Im in the same boat.Im getting married in Poland in August and have been married before(civil not church) I have had to dig all the past up in a Marriage Tribunal to get my old marriage annuled.This has been one hell of a ball ache as they can not put a time scale on how long it will take (so far 14 months) so dont plan anything!We have decided to do a civil wedding in Poland and IF we get permission we will have a church ceremony later.The thing I finnd funny that I get judged about my past marriage by people of the Church who cant get married,work that out! If you have to go down this route please be aware that you will have to give two names of witnesses to you previous marriage and they will be interviewd which takes about 2/3hrs.They will also want a statement from you ex wife,not an easy task I might add.We are at the stage that its with what they call a Defender of the bond.If they contest it it then goes to the Higher Church.There is also no promise that they will ever give you an anulment.We are off to the Register office later today to obtain a certificate of non inpederment which is needed to get married outside the Uk and its to prove you are not married.Then this has to be sent to Poland for translation.It would have been easier to swap teams and become a Catholic.
Any way hang in there MCA its like anything in Poland it takes forever and involes a mountain of paper work and red tape.Mca if you need to know more drop me a line im happy to help you .
