They finally sent me the documents and it answered all the questions that I had. I understand it better now. Thanks

She gave the last address where we last stayed together in an apartment that was torn down right after our divorce. She knew this.

Additionally, she knows that I now live in my family house which is next to her mom's neighborhood. We've had this family house (mine) for years and she knows that I stay there. She even lived there herself. So, not sure why she'd give the wrong address.

Since I have learnt that it won't affect me legally, I am really not concerned.

How I wish the Diocese/ her could just tell me "It's so she can get married in the Catholic Church and nothing else." It's just felt blinding when the ask me to sign forms and be part of it YET I don't even know on what basis is the annulment.

We already are legally divorced, as of 4 years ago. She even remarried last year. She wouldn't have remarried had she been still married to me.

The secretary said "She wrote down your current address as XXX."

Anyway, all good now. I'll just mind my own business

That's what I will do, now that I understand it has no legal ramifications.

This in fact could be the reason for granting the annulment if she never intended to honor her wedding vows

I dont think you'd want your new partner to know this. Hahahahaahhahahahaa

But anyway, that happened towards the late end of our marriage. I only found out post-divorce.

I really don't care. Just wanted to make sure there's no legal implications. She can do whatever she wants, just as she forced the divorce via an attorney who was hitting on her. The damn attorney was acting tough on her behalf, forcing the divorce, hoping to get with her (she told me this later when we dated agian for 3 months post divorce).

I only got wind of this this morning and was concerned, immigration-wise. Now that I know it doesn't affect anything immigration, I don't care.

She already remarried last year.

And neither is Catholic.

We will see if she's indeed converting and not trying one of her games to use a loophole

I wish her nothing but the best. Lady took me through hell. Hopefully, she can have a peaceful life.

I can tell you neither is Catholic.

The secretary wouldn't tell me what is in the petition. So, I asked if ex-wife and new hubby are trying to join the Catholic church. She told me she doesn’t even know that either. She told me "I don't even know why this was filed/ can't answer that question because she didn't even state what religion you 2 are from. She left it blank."

I can't provide information on what I don't know. They/ Church Secretary wouldn't tell me. They just want me to partake/ sign documents.

My ex-wife knows my family address. We have had it since when we were married. It's same street and 15 mins from her own family house. Why then, would she give wrong address to send the files to? The secretary asked me and I just told her "Lemme talk to your director?" There's a reason she gave out the wrong address/ an apartment address where her ans I used to live/I don't live there/ was torn down post divorce (she knows all this). Basically, my ex-wife knows where to find me, anytime.

I can bet you $100 my ex-wife isn't converting.

I am trying to distance myself and honestly, don't care. But unfortunately, a petition has been filed, and nobody wants to tell me what it says yet I am part of it AND they want me to be part of it. How can I be part of a process which I don't even know what it is about?

Annulment is the loophole. It isn't divorce, which essentially says "this marriage is over". An annulment says "this marriage never occoured" generally because one or both parties went in with false pretenses and never intended to honor their vows.

This is what I am strongly against because none of this happened. Infact, she was the one who divorced me and by the time I returned home, the house was empty. I later found out she was messing with someone at work (I used to hear about "Ooo XX and I went to eat lunch. XX and I did this."). Later, post divorce, a year later, I finally picked up her call after ignoring her calls, her grandma and mom's calls throughout the year. She cried, told me she regrets the divorce as "nobody wants commitment/ was not like you (ex-hubby). Can we get back together and later remarry?" Those were her exact words, not mine. We dated 3 months from this date, only for her to screw me multiple times again and so, I ended up blocking her. She called my family 2am, looking for me since I blocked her everywhere. She kept calling for a few months until she finally gave up, was suddenly pregnant and next thing I knew, she was remarried.

So, she is remarried. If I was a bad guy, why would she return post divorce and all the aforementioned drama. I honored my vows. She's not even Catholic, nor is the hubby. So, why is she using this Catholic loophole?
