WAW Using God II

[pigskin]

Pigskin,

Not to argue okay but what does the annulment do to your children's legitimacy? If the marriage was never valid in the eyes of the church (is this Catholic or a legal annulment you're seeking?)
To me I don't see the advantage of an annulment when you have kids.It can be risky. In some of their eyes it negates them. I mean, how do you tell them you were never married in the eyes of God but, they are here in your life? Are they "bastards"? No offense meant, I'm just curious about the unintended consequences.

Of course It may not ever come up, but it sure did for my sister, who married in the Catholic church to a fellow Catholic. They had 3 kids and HE sought the annulment after leaving her for OW, and 22 yrs of M...oh and now he's an aggressive atheist...to which I say, "it shows".

It's a Catholic annulment that I'm talking about and it is necessary if I ever want to date/marry again. While I don't know about marriage, I definitely want to date again, so I'm going to go through the process.

I don't know what that does to the children in the eyes of the church. I can't imagine it has any impact or my pastor would have said something. After all, they were not born out of wedlock, they would just be considered born out of a marriage that should never have taken place.
