Has Any One Else Been a Witness for an Annulment (RCC)?

[darareaksmey]

I have a Church annulment. It's a myth that it is very costly to go through the process. My fees totaled $350. And had I not been able to afford the fee I could have applied for a hardship and paid less, or paid nothing.

PreKteach: just answer to the best of your ability. If you don't have knowledge about a particular question say that.

I think the cost varies from diocese to diocese, and also depends on the type of marriage they are annulling. DH's first marriage was annulled for around $350 also, but it was a case of privilege (Pauline or Petrine, I could never remember). He had not been married in the RCC the first time; no children were born of that marriage; AND his wife was a Nazarene or one of those denominations where you don't get baptized till the spirit moves. the sirit never moved her, so she had never been baptized, and that's a pretty easy annulment. We still had to have witnesses do paperwork, but it wasn't too tough.

OTOH, my sister-in-law and her husband would have had to pay I think $900 to annul his first marriage. It's a totally different diocese, but the first marriage itself was a bit different because he had been married in the RCC to a baptized woman, though they hadn't any kids.

My opinion: the church will charge what the market will bear, regardless of any supposedly biblical grounds or lack thereof.

I was a witness for an annulment in Alaska. The questionnaire basically looked for any reasons to infer that the marriage vows had not been made with a whole heart or full understanding.

Back in the way back daze I married 1xman in the RCC. Unbeknownst to me my father gave the monsignor 3k to pay for an annulment in advance. :lol: I never pursued the annulment but was happy with a civil divorce. The divorce was one of the numerous times my parents 'disowned' me. :roll:

Very corrupt RC church. The monsignor took frequent cruises with his housekeeper. One year she vanished for a bit and came back with a child named after him. That son now heads his former parish.
