I know this. When I was young, I didn't realize it applied to times before we knew the church. It all hinged on whether we were baptized. Years later I found that the Catholic church didn't recognize mormon baptisms, so we might have swung one annulment. And I know a lot of divorced Catholics.
I had to get an annulment when young because when one partner decides "no kids," that's against the whole marriage purpose. Didn't cost anything, though, so I wonder what that diocese was doing to you. Meantime, do see if you can come in, even if only to support Archbishop Viganò!
