Divorce & Annulment

questions & answers

Question: I was married thru the Catholic Church. Got divorced thru the state 5 years ago, but have not gone thru the church to get the marriage annulled. Legally, do I need to do this before I remarry?

Answer: Annulment through the Catholic Church is purely a religious matter.  If you have been legally divorced with a divorce decree signed by a judge, you are legally free to marry again.  When you apply for a marriage license pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 25-121, you must fill out an affidavit verifying your personal information including your current marital status.
