Having a child out of wedlock - whether by adultery or fornication - does not impend a future marriage. There would only be an impediment if someone had contracted a previous outstanding marriage and wished to marry again, but this is not the case here. Make an appointment to meet with the priest and talk the situation over so that he and your fiance are aware of the situation and what it entails.

∙ 16y agoIf he had a divorce already and he promises to let you practice your religion and to bring up any children you two will have as Catholic, then I can't see any reasons why any Catholic priest authorized to officiate marriages would deny you the marriage in a Catholic ceremony. levsoo

Why Catholic wedding is required for a spouse to be baptized as a Catholic?
Because, if you were not a catholic, and so werent your fiance, you would need i think at least one of you to be Catholic or you couldn't get married in a Catholic church. Why would you if you werent catholic, you know what i mean?
You are Catholic and your fiance is not can you get married by a minister or will you lose your status as a Catholic?
it depends on the two of you. Say for example, a catholic man wants to marry a Muslim woman, the catholic man can be converted to a Muslim or the Muslim woman to catholic. You can't be married if you are different to her/him.ANSWER: I'd consult your parish priest and/or diocese about this. Don't believe that you, as a Catholic, can be married by a non-catholic minister in a non-catholic church. You'd need, at least, one of the officiants to be a catholic priest. Otherwise, I don't believe that your marriage would be a valid "sacramental' marriage. You would not be married in the eyes of the Church.Same if you are Catholic and were merely married by a justice of the peace. You would be forbidden to receive the Sacraments b/c you'd be, technically, living in a state of fornication a mortal sin.The reason is that YOU are a Catholic. Proper sacramental marriage is defined by the Catholic Church. if you deliberately refuse to be married according to Church teaching then you HAVE violated a fundamental tenet of your Faith.The answer, however, MAY be as simple as making certain that a Catholic priest is the celebrant, alongside the protestant minister, at your marriage. IF your intended spouse refused to permit this, then you seriously SHOULD re-think this marriage.Still, I do believe that both spouses, regardless of where they are married, would be required to promise to raise the children Catholic. That is certainly a potential serious problem. It would be a serious/grave sin for a Catholic NOT to raise his/her children in the Catholic faith.If your intended spouse refuses to raise the children Catholic, then you got BIGGER PROBLEMS than merely where -- what church -- to marry in. And, you & your intended need to iron them out before you marry.
My fiance was married before in a civil ceremony and is now divorced we are looking to get married in the Catholic Church does he need to get an annulment?
There are some details lacking in the information given through the question for a precise answer. It is best for you and your fiance to visit your parish priest and be open and frank about her situation. If your fiance was Catholic and was married by a civil servant, her marriage would never have been recognized by the Church as Catholics may only contract a sacramental marriage sanctioned by the Church and witnessed by one of her ministers (i.e. a priest). If your fiance is not Catholic - which will have a whole set of issues to be addressed after this one is solved, but not here - and contracted a civil marriage, she may be validly married depending on the circumstances, who she married, etc. This information would have to be made plain to a priest in order for him to discern how to proceed. Assuming, for simplicity's sake, your fiance was Catholic when she underwent a civil marriage, she committed a sin by marrying outside the Church and was never validly married in Its eyes. She therefore does not need to apply for an annulment investigation - her marriage was automatically invalid by its circumstances. In order for her to contract a valid marriage she needs only to be given the approval of the priest, who will probably advise a good confession prior to the sacrament, depending on how malicious or innocent she was in attempting to contact marriage via civil law.
If your fiance's ex-spouse gets married does he still need an annulment to get married in the church?
No, as long as he & his x-spouse are divorced. Then it is fine.
Can your fiance get temporary custody of your children with a power of attorney form?
No. Custody must be granted by a court order unless the parents are married. If you are unmarried and want to give temporary custody of your children to your "fiance" it must be done through the court. You haven't mentioned whether the "fiance" is the father of the children.

Fiance was illegally married can he still be given k1 visa?
Illegally married? You mean the fiance was an "Illegal" when he married? If the fiance was married then the fiance's marriage must be legally concluded (divorced) before applying for a K-1. They also must exit the US to qualify for a K-1.
Is it possible to get married in a Catholic church if your fiance has never been baptized and what would he have to do?
3rd June 2009A Catholic may marry another Christian (a 'mixed marriage') so long as he/she promises to do his/her best to raise any children in the Catholic faith; the non-Catholic is to be aware of this promise. It is normally sufficient for the priest or deacon acting as Church witness to fill out some brief paper work. The ceremony normally takes place within the Catholic church building and it is courtesy to invite the Protestant minister to participate and no permisson is needed for this to happen. (see Canons 1055-1129) It is also possible for the ceremony to be conducted in the church of the Protestant party; this would normally be granted by the bishop, especially if the Protestant had a strong connection to his/her church e.g. a relative who was pastor.A Catholic may also marry a person who is not a Christian, with the promise regarding children being made. However, such a marriage is called a "Disparity of Cult" and permission must be obtained from the local bishop. In such cases, it is permitted for the ceremony to take place somewhere other than in a church building out of respect for the non-Christian and his/her family. (see Canons 1055-1029) See related linksIt's not necessary and he does not need to be Catholic, as long as you are Catholic and you agree that God and Catholicism will be a part of your marriage. The specifics of this are something you discuss with the parish priest.Both need to be baptized to be married in the catholic church

Can I marry in a Roman Catholic church and a Greek Orthodox church?
Generally speaking, you can only be married in one, not both, otherwise you are getting married twice. Many people choose to marry in an Eastern Orthodox Church, and then perhaps have a blessing ceremony in a catholic church. The reason for this is because an Orthodox Wedding is accepted by all catholics, but a catholic wedding is not always accepted by all Orthodox bishops. An Orthodox wedding is accepted as valid by both. Answer2 A catholic wedding is not a valid wedding according to the Orthodox church (official position). Either you or your fiance have to be an Orthodox Christian to get married in an Orthodox church. Typically an Orthodox Priest will want both parties to come to pre-marital counseling and all the particulars of an Orthodox wedding and marriage will be discussed so that everyone is prepared. A famous example of this is when Grand Duchess Elizabeth who was at the time of her marriage Princess Elizabeth of Hesse Germany and a Lutheran married Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia. She later voluntarily converted to Orthodoxy (there is never any compulsion to convert).
Does your fiance have to have a fiance visa to visit and get married in the US?
