Law / RC annulment procedure in Poland [13]

Thanks for your informative suggestions. :)

The reason I wanted to get my marriage annuled is that I am not sure if this marriage is valid in this situation. I didn't see my husband for years and I don't feel comfortable to see him again due to the big trauma he left on me. I am not sure whether I will fall in love again with another man but I did turn down a few chances of being loved again over the past few years. On one side I feel I should not live as a widow as everyone has his or her own needs that have to be satisfied; on the other side, I think I should surrender myself to my faith and abandon my ridiculous thoughts of being loved again. It would cause pain if I can't be part of Holy Communion.

The churches both in Poland and the States wanted me to demonstrate that my marraige could not work out anyway before they accept my petition for annulment. So I am thinking about whether my official separation document is enough to be supporting document for this reason? If you know anything about this, please kindly keep me updated.

We were consumated and while we were seeing each other when I was young, I wanted him to be my husband very much, and to be honest, I didn't foresee just a year after our wedding, he started having affairs with different women until he met this one to become stablized. I did try hard to save my marriage for a couple of years before I eventually gave up.

Please offer your insights on how to get my life right again by keeping my faith and my happiness.

Law / RC annulment procedure in Poland [13]

Hello,

I would like to consult you how RC annulment will work in Poland. I consulted my priest in the States, and he said to me that a decree of civil divorce of my ''existing'' marriage needs to be in place before the church here accepts my petition to start its investigation. So I am looking into a solution in Poland as I don't want to get a civil divorce while in eyes of the church I am still married.

Me and my ''husband'' married in Poland in our early twenties and later he left for other woman and now established their own family with kids born following while legally he is still my husband. He is in Poland, but now I have moved to the States for a couple of years and do plan to stay here for a long-term. I got my official decree of separation from the court in Poland years ago, and now I am considering to have my marriage annulled in order to have a fresh start in my life. I am very afraid of violating my faith of being a Catholic, so my decision on filing a civil divorce would depend on the result of my annulment.

- Does any one know if decree of civil separation enough for me to petition my annulment at the RC church in Poland?

- Since we are not divorced, will it take longer than 2 years to complete the whole process?

I am very welcome to any of your inputs to my situation. But please be non-judgemental.

Dzieki.
