My ex husband (brought up a Catholic)is remarrying this year to a Catholic - (I am protestant). He recently informed me that our marriage was annulled several years ago!

Should I have been consulted? It seems bad to me that my first marriage (during which our sons were born) of 13 years can be dismissed without me even knowing!

You should have been contacted. If you know where he had it granted you should write to the Bishop of that diocese and complain. You have a right to be heard.

What do you want? You divorced him!

If the annulment was due to some obvious defect, e.g., you weren't married in the Catholic Church, then you didn't need to be notified. If it was a formal inquiry, then you should have been notified, and since you weren't, you should have the right to open up the case again.

hello susan this is the very reason i have devolted my life to helping people in marriage problums but the problum is the catholic church is destroying the lives of others telling people it is ok to live in adultry but here is a virse that might help you.. "To the married I give this command ( not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must NOT divorce his wife." 1 Cor.7:10-11.. Anyone who DIVORCES his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery." "The Lord is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth, because you have broken faith with her, though she is your partner, the wife of your marriage covenant. Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his." "So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth. I hate divorce, says the Lord." Mal.2:14............ but shame on you if you marrie agin because you know it would be wrong be married to your faith in god and be reconciled to your husband if you hold out till the end you will get your reward
