If there has been a divorce of one or both parties intending to be married, permission of the Bishop of the Diocese of Dallas must be obtained. This upholds the Church's teaching that marriage is for life and also the pastoral responsibility to ensure that divorced persons fully comprehend the reasons for the failure of the first marriage. (More than half of second marriages end in divorce, often because of unresolved issues present in the previous marriage.) This process requires interviews with officiating clergy. When this consent is requested, application may also be made to the Bishop for a judgment of dissolution or nullity (i.e. an annulment) regarding the previous marriage. The church requires one year from the date of the final divorce decree and the wedding date. In any of these situations, a minimum of eight months is customary from the point when a couple contacts the priest and when the couple would like the wedding to take place. Thus, when there is a divorce an initial meeting with the clergy must precede the regular steps in reserving the Church for the ceremony.
