What are the requirements for a novus ordo annulment?

§3...a "psychic nature."  Sadly, that can be used to cover pretty much anything.  In a sermon on WFTS, I think it was Fr Jenkins who said that this is the reason cited in the overwhelming majority of annulments issued these days.

an advocate for annulments - I wish I had went just so I could have a better grasp on this topic.

What are the requirements for a novus ordo annulment?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Pius XII's address on October 3, 1941 to the Roman Rota:

    As regards declarations of the nullity of marriage, everyone knows that
    the Church is rather wary and disinclined to favor them. Indeed if the
    tranquillity, stability, and security of human intercourse in general
    demands that contracts be not lightly set aside this is still more true
    of a contract of such importance as marriage whose firmness and
    stability are necessary for the common welfare of human society as well
    as for the private good of the parties and the children and whose
    sacramental dignity forbids that it be lightly exposed to the danger of
    profanation.

In the early 1970s the incidence of annulment began a meteoric rise, increasing at a rate without precedence in Church history. In 1968 the entire American diocesan tribunal system granted fewer than four hundred "formal case" annulments--those requiring trial by a tribunal. Another one hundred or so decrees of nullity were granted administratively, without benefit of trial. Within ten years, hardly an eyeblink in two millennia of Church history, several diocesan tribunals were each issuing more decrees of nullity annually than had been previously granted in any one year by the American Church as a whole. In 1979, for example, the Archdiocese of Chicago's tribunal granted approximately 1,100 annulments, roughly double the total granted by all American tribunals a decade before.  

Viewed cross-culturally, annulment data provide stunning comparisons. The Church in the United States, by a wide margin, has been annulling far more marriages than the rest of the Catholic world combined. In 1980 tribunals worldwide processed 89,065 cases judicially and administratively. Of that number 63,962 (72 percent) emanated from America's busy tribunals. Back then, Vatican statistics published in English did not provide the number of annulments actually granted. Cases processed cannot be equated with decrees of nullity. But at the very least they show that American tribunals were hyperactive compared to tribunals in the rest of the Catholic world.
