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.

Texas – Constitutional Challenge of No-fault Divorce

June 2, 2026 Bai Macfarlane phones AG I phoned the Texas Attorney General's "open government hotline" (877) 673-6839 and left a message asking a question.

Canon Law Challenge Against No-fault Separation

A Catholic husband, who we’ll call Jack Doe, has a pending appeal at the Dicastery for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments against his Archbishop’s marriage separation decree.  He is objecting to the bishop issuing a spousal separation decree which contains no facts or specific legal reasons. The decree says it “simply recognizes that […]

DDF Dodging Responsibility to Uphold Doctrine of the Faith

The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith seems to be dodging their responsibility to uphold the doctrine of the faith.  Of issue is whether this evidently controversial statement is correct or contrary to canon law and undermining faith and morals: Prior to a Catholic petitioning a USA civil court for divorce or separation, the […]
