Does a divorced Baptist man need an annulment to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church?
A divorced Baptist male may or may not need an annulment of his prior marriage from the Catholic Church in order to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church. Although Baptists are able to re-marry after divorce, Catholics may divorce but may not re-marry unless the sacrament of the first marriage has been declared null. If the divorced Baptist did not have a valid Christian marriage (that is, one spouse was not a validly baptized Christian, or the ceremony was not Christian, then the annulment process is much simpler - but any prior marrriages still need to be declared null). If the first marriage was a valid Christian ceremony, then the couple desiring a marriage in the Catholic church will have to go through the 'formal' annulment process which takes considerably longer and is very thorough but very worthwhile if you love this person. The Catholic person cannot enter into a valid marriage unless this is done.
Why do early marriage can result to annulment?
A Catholic annulment is only available to someone who can prove that no valid marriage ever existed the first time around. Early marriage would have no bearing on the matter. Added: A legal annulment can occur when one party can prove that the marriage was not entered freely and voluntarily. For example, if one party was under the influence or married under duress. Sometimes a very young person who is married can show that he/she entered the marriage at the insistence of another person and felt that he/she did not have a choice, and will therefore assert that the marriage was entered under duress and seek an annulment.

Can you change from Church of England to Roman Catholic as you are a divorcee?
Catholic AnswerCertainly. You need to sit down with a priest and discuss your marital situation. There are different scenarios as to getting an annulment (a decree that your marriage was not valid). But please note that, unless you are married again, this is not a problem. If you have remarried, then you must definitely seek an annulment of the first marriage, and until such time as you can be validly married, you should seek to live as brother and sister. Regardless, you need to make an appointment with your local priest and discuss all of this, he can tell you a lot better than I can what situation you are in.

It is all right to the Catholic Church regarding legalization of divorce?
One can get a divorce through legal channels but it is not recognized by the Church as the Church does not recognize divorce. The person will need to seek an annulment of the marriage through the Catholic Church. If the person were to remarry without an annulment the Church would consider the person to be living in adultery meaning the person had, in a sense, excommunicated himself from the Church and would not be eligible to receive the sacraments.
How do you get a marriage annulled in New Mexico?
To successfully seek an annulment, you must file your request with the court within a certain amount of time. This time frame will depend upon a couple of different factors - where you live, the reason for the annulment, and when you first discovered the condition that renders your marriage invalid. For example, if a couple is seeking an annulment on the basis that one of the parties defrauded the other, the court would want to know when the fraud was first discovered. If the spouse being deceived discovered the fraud but then continued in the marriage for a considerable time after, the court would be less likely to grant an annulment and the couple would have to seek a traditional divorce instead.
What does a divorced Catholic man need to do in order to marry a Jewish woman?
Catholic AnswerThe man, in this scenario, would need to obtain an annulment if possible. Without an annulment, he is still validly married (even if divorced) and would not be eligible to marry. If he obtained an annulment, he should first ask the Jewish woman to attend RCIA in the interest of possible conversion. If she is not willing to convert, she still must be willing to raise any children as Catholics. If she is willing to do this, then they need to talk to a priest as a marriage between a Catholic and a non-baptized person requires permission from the Bishop. I would give this a lot of thought and prayer if the woman was unwilling to at least look into possible conversion as this would make for a very difficult marriage if permission can be obtained to go through with it.Jewish AnswerThe Catholic man would need to get an annulment from the Catholic Church in order to be religiously unattached. He should then seek a Rabbi to help him decide whether or not he wishes to convert to Judaism. If he does, he should convert before marriage. If not, the Jewish woman should decide whether she is willing to have an interfaith marriage. However, the children should be raised as Jews (and will halakhically be Jewish because the woman was Jewish).
Can a widowed Catholic man marry a divorced Catholic woman and still receive the sacraments?
No. If you wish to marry the divorced non-catholic man, he will need to seek and receive and annulment.Marriage is a natural right, and belongs to the natural order. Therefore this person, though he might not have been Catholic was free to contract marriage with his bride in whatever form that took.My advice to anyone in this situation is to encourage the person to seek an annulment if you wish to get married in the Catholic Church, and if you intend to continue to receive the sacraments.Since at this point no marriage has been attempted, you are still free to receive the sacraments. If however you attempt a marriage outside the Catholic Church, you will have to refrain from receiving the sacraments unless or until the person seeks and receives an annulment.Remember: Divorce does not dissolve a marriage, if it was validly contracted. Divorce simply means the couple is no longer living together as husband and wife. Therefore this person might be "divorced" but he is still "married" to the person. This is why an annulment is necessary, and why he is not free without an annulment to enter into a marriage, and why if you attempt to marry without him receiving an annulment you would have to refrain from receiving the sacraments.I will not lie to you: the annulment process can (though not necessarily) be challenging and it may cost money. HOWEVER---you will find in the end it WILL bring peace and healing for he will be starting his new life with you afresh with his past healed. In short you will find the process to be well worth the challenge (if any) and time. Do not let a lack of funds deter you either.Answer from a Catholic... there is one possibility that you can look into while seeking an annulment. You need to speak to your confessor about this. There is a possibility of receiving Holy Communion, most likely at another parish, where you are not know, if you live as brother and sister while seeking an annulment. You may only receive Holy Communion while in a state of grace, so you must go to confession and confess your attempt at marriage with someone who is already married. Further, you have to receive Holy Communion where you are not know as if others saw you, while you were living with someone, you would give rise to scandal, which is a very serious sin.
