Annulments

What happens if you receive an affirmative decision?

If a case is concluded with an affirmative decision, it is held for 15 Business days to give either party the opportunity to appeal. The Archdiocese of Detroit has two tribunals to which it sends its cases: the Diocese of Grand Rapids and the Diocese of Saginaw. If there is no appeal a Decree of Execution is sent stating the freedom to marry. If there is an appeal in writing, the Second Instance Court will indicate what to do.
