The annulment process is an investigation into whether or not a marriage was ever valid. For a variety of reasons, it is possible that a marriage was null (invalid) and the man and woman's souls were never actually bound together, meaning that they would be free to re-marry since they are not tied to another.
The process of annulment does not do anything to a marriage, but merely investigates the particulars of a perceived marriage (marriage preparation, sufficient knowledge of what was being undertaken, sufficient freedom, necessary form, etc.) and either makes a declaration of nullity or validity of the marriage.
The process of annulment is unique to each individual based on their particular circumstances. In some cases, it is fairly quick and straightforward, while others are a lengthy process of investigation.
To inquire into beginning the process of annulment, please contact the Parish Office (317.846.3475) and ask to speak with a priest regarding the annulment process.
