The authors draw upon their own experience of Catholic annulment to describe not only the procedure but also the peace it brought into their lives. Beginning with the process of annulment, the book presents a section of frequently asked questions, such as: What is the cost? How long will it take? Then the book explains why an annulment process is necessary, and tells how to find a procurator to initiate the annulment process.
