Statement of Petitioner
- I swear that the information I've given with this application is the truth.
- I will provide the Metropolitan Tribunal of the Archdiocese of Denver with all the required documents and information.
- I understand that no guarantee can be given to me about when the canonical process will be completed and that there is no guarantee that the final decision will be favorable to me.
- I agree that I am not to set a date for any future marriage in the Catholic Church until a final and favorable decision has been rendered.
- I acknowledge that a decision depends wholly on the merits of the case, the evidence and the exact reason which the Church recognizes as grounds for nullity.
- I agree to cooperate fully with the Tribunal and to be bound by its policies.
- I, the undersigned Petitioner, hereby request the Metropolitan Tribunal of the Archdiocese of Denver to investigate my marriage to the respondent listed previously, based on the information provided with this petition, according to the Catholic Church Law. If the facts and law warrant such a decision, I ask that it be declared null from the beginning on the ground of Lack of Canonical Form
- I hereby appoint the undersigned to serve as my Advocate in this process. I authorize the Tribunal to appoint and/or substitute such person to process this case as may be necessary.
