PB you'd be surprised. I have personal knowledge of two cases where people were married inthe Church, got cheated on early in the marriage and got quickie annulments for about $1,000, which was the going rate at the time (this was about fifteen and ten years ago respectively.
Well, that's how it's supposed to be. That's why I posted that link.
A new marriage is permitted, however, if the proper Church authorities determine that the previous marriage was invalid from the beginning.Now if you're cheated on from the very start of a marriage, that clearly proves that the marriage was invalid from "the beginning," and the Church was right to grant those annulments. Glad to hear they got it right, DT

As far as them taking money, well, yeah, everything has it's price
