Dealing with Offspring in Invalid Marriages

Full Question

        I am taking my grown children and their spouses on vacation. Some are not married to those with whom they want to share a room. Should I allow this?        

Answer

If I understand you correctly, your children are in legal marriages, but some of those marriages are not recognized to be valid by the Church. You may also mean some of your children are not married but will be bringing a partner of the opposite sex. Generally speaking, the Church requires that we must recognize an essential difference between valid and invalid marriages (CCC 2353). Valid marriages are a social good and a gift from God. Invalid marriages constitute grave matter and the possibility of public scandal. Moreover, the Church requires that the faithful should avoid direct cooperation in the sins of others (CCC 1868).

What Catholics actually want and need from marriage preparation

Keep the lines of communication open, and buy gold. Those are the two things and the only things my husband and I learned in our marriage preparation classes 25 years ago. It’s hard to say which bit of advice was less helpful. We already knew communication was important, but what we really needed was practice. And the financial advice was sound, but we had exactly enough cash for one month’s rent…

Everything nearing, blooms

Water cold enough to cut

As though the end of harvest were not

As though reunion were not so close to ruin

Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho!

The Catholic Church in Spain is offering a new marriage preparation course. The startling part: It’s three years long.

My first thought was that the last thing the Church needs to be doing is making marriage harder. Few enough people are seeking out the sacraments, so let’s not give them even more hoops to jump through! But it turns out they’re not makinganyone do anything. The course isn’t…

B & G Divorce Lawyers – Queens Divorce Lawyer

More marriages than every end in divorce and if yours is one of those, you need to hire a Queens area divorce lawyer that can handle the job of representing you during the process. If your divorce is one you know is going to be messy and contentious because you want to prove wrongdoing by your spouse or they’re looking to do the same to you, it’s more important than ever that you choose to have the right attorney to represent you during the divorce process.

Understand when you want to prove your spouse has been doing something that would cause them to need to pay you a large sum of money or give you more than an equal split of the assets in the divorce, there may be several people involved other than just the lawyer you hire.  In fact, there may be private investigators, forensic accountants, physicians, and psychologists brought in if you’re trying to prove wrongdoing on the part of your spouse and all of these people expect to be paid.  If you might need any of these professionals involved in your divorce, you need to ask your lawyer what costs might be associated with their involvement.

A messy divorce can also mean you’re going to be in front of a judge and ask that person to rule on the divorce for you.  Because the Queens divorce lawyer you hire has experience with the courts and the judges that could be assigned to your case, you need to ask their opinion regarding a positive outcome of the case for you.  You want to have a lawyer that’s supportive and will help you have the outcome that’s right for you, but you don’t want one who will tell you something that’s untrue in your case either.

In addition to the aspects of the divorce process and the other professionals that will be part of the divorce, you should ask how the decisions you make during the process will affect your taxes.  There may be a cost you need to pay to the government as part of taxes that you need to pay because of the judgment received.  Make sure your divorce lawyer can help you understand this aspect of your divorce, or at least direct you to someone else who does understand them.
