Below is a list of programs that can help.

Catholic Divorce Ministry

Catholic Divorce Ministry is the ministry of the North American Conference of Separated and Divorced Catholics, Inc., working since 1974 to create a network of support for families experiencing separation and divorce. CDM speaks to the Church with the united, collective voice of separated and divorced Catholics. Through our Central Office, conferences, member groups, ministry leadership training, resources, and liaisons with church and civic organizations, CDM has substantially improved the entire family’s experience of divorce by addressing the religious, emotional, financial, and parenting issues relative to separation, divorce, and remarriage. For more information, please visit the Catholic Divorce Ministry website.

Marriage Annulment

Marriage annulment is a process by which a marriage is declared null and void, as if it never existed sacramentally. It is a solemn declaration that the marital union lacked certain essential elements required for a valid marriage.
