If they decide against you, you may still have recourse to appeal to the Rota (although I think that is more typically done by a party fighting an annulment).
May I ask in which diocese you are?
I will continue to pray for you. Do not give up hope.
It's been a year since we 1st filed the paperwork. I just received notice today of the Decree of Joinder of Issues.
I don't anticipate my ex will try to fight the annulment. I'll be surprised if she even answers the questionare. My biggest concern is the things which are relevant to the defects in the marriage were never publicly aired or shared with friends and such. Therefore there aren't any witnesses to anything except "They were married" and "then they were divorced" and "the husband was a pig" (sadly correct) and the 2 people I listed as witnesses I chose primarily because I knew they would tell the truth as they see it and would fill out the paperwork and remember to send it in!
We live the diocese of Charleston, SC.
Thank you for your prayers. We won't ever give up hope. The Presence of Christ in the Eucharist will never allow us to lose hope.
