How is the annulment process begun?
The person who wishes to have a marriage annulled seeks the assistance of a parish priest or deacon and does not contact the Tribunal directly. The required application and petition forms are completed with the help of the priest or deacon, who will then forward them to the Tribunal office. The Tribunal carefully studies all the materials and, if the evidence seems to warrant consideration, a formal interview with the person seeking the annulment will be arranged. In addition, an interview with one of the Tribunal’s professional counselors may be required. The interview with this counselor takes place at the Tribunal office, and the appointment is scheduled by the judge assigned to the case in consultation with the person involved.
