How to get an annulment wrongly called “church divorce” or “nullity of marriage”?
It is worth starting preparations for the trial by determining what are the real chances of a favorable verdict. One that will determine that the marriage in question was invalid from the very beginning. The knowledge I have acquired and the experience gained during many years of work as a Defender of the Marriage Bond in the Metropolitan Court of Warsaw will help in the proper analysis of this key issue. Please contact me for a detailed diagnosis of a specific case.
Below, in simple terms, I present the individual stages of the process and my role in each of them:
Complaint
- The process opens with a complaint indicating the so-called "reasons for invalidity";
- A properly prepared complaint can become a key element of the process;
- I guarantee a comprehensive (substantive and formal) development of the document;
Evidence
- Properly developed means of evidence make it easier for judges to take decision;
- Evidence is, for example, testimonies of parties, witnesses, documents, correspondence, etc.;
- I provide optimal selecting and constructing a list of evidence;
Publication and closure
- In addition to the parties, the Defender of the Marriage Bond (OWM) is present in the trial;
- The role of the OWM is to point out everything that supports the validity of the marriage;
- The experience gained as a OWM guarantees effective argumentation and defense;
Judgement
- After the reform of Pope Francis of December 8, 2015, the judgment in the first instance ends the trial
