Our Mission

Uphold marriage against unilateral no-fault divorce

Support those who remain faithful to their marriage and those who have been unjustly abandoned

For Catholics who enter marriage expecting permanence, no-fault divorce is a cruel surprise.

If you are facing an unwanted separation or divorce, find a listening ear and others carrying the same weight.

Learn about options for requesting Church support for your marriage based on the Catholic Code of Canon Law. We assist both respondents in annulment cases who are defending the validity of their marriage, as well as abandoned spouses seeking pastoral care and governance. Additionally, we offer a sample arbitration agreement for engaged couples who wish to distinguish their Catholic marriage from a civil marriage.
