You can’t remarry within the Catholic church unless you get an annulment

dont know what it costs- I thought annulments were for when the marriage wasn’t consumated obviously not the case when there are children

ROMAN CATHOLIC
If you want to remarry in a Roman Catholic church, you will need an annulment. You’ve got about 12-18 months of questionnaires and tribunal hearings ahead of you. Your former spouse must be notified of your plans and your family and close friends will be recruited to provide information about your first marriage. To begin, contact your regional diocese and ask for the Tribunal Department. You will be assigned a Judge and Defender to guide you through the process.
