ACKNOWLEDGMENT As the process required to complete a Declaration of Invalidity in the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth requires a significant amount of time, I understand that I cannot be given a date by which the process will be completed. I further understand that there is no guarantee that an affirmative decision will be reached in my petition for a Declaration of Invalidity. I acknowledge that if I was married to my current spouse in a civil or non-Catholic religious ceremony (without dispensation) or plan to marry someone who has been previously married (and whose former spouse(s) is/are still alive) his/her marriage case(s) need to be resolved in the affirmative prior to celebrating a marriage in the Catholic Church. I have been informed by my advocate that I cannot set a date for a future wedding in the Catholic Church until: I have received a letter from the Tribunal informing me that an affirmative decision has been reached AND I have completed any counseling or marriage preparation that is required by the judges in my case. Signature of Petitioner Name of Petitioner Date I, the Respondent, agree with the request for a Declaration of Invalidity of the marriage and on the facts that prove the invalidity of the marriage. Signature of Respondent Name of Respondent Date Signature of Advocate Name of Advocate Date Please print one sided
