Tribunal
|
|

|
|
A tribunal office
is the court established by the church to decide issues presented to it
for resolution. Its primary function it to review petitions that have
been submitted for an ecclesiastical declaration of marriage nullity.
If there is a question
regarding whether a specific marriage is valid and binding until the
death of one of the spouses, the issue is brought before the Church
community through a tribunal office. This ecclesiastical process
involves an investigation of facts concerning a specific marriage and
the rendering of a possible declaration of nullity. The Tribunal is
staffed by canon lawyers (clergy and lay people) and an experienced
administrative staff. |
