Godmother has crossed the line. Can godparents be annulled?

[Ethelpandy16]

If the godmother of your child has had an affair with your husband. Can this godmother be removed?

No. Just keep away from her

I'm not sure if that is something that the church can offer, but you could tell them you don't want them to be a Godparent anymore?

They don't have legal rights as a Godparent, their duty is to offer spiritual guidance.

Er, I think the godmother is the least of your problems right now.

Godmother isn't a legal position. It's simply honorary.

Make sure your will is changed pretty quick if she's down as a potential guardian though.

I'm very sorry. It must be devastating to be so doubly betrayed.

I think I'd be more concerned with divorcing the husband than divorcing the godmother.

Freeze out the godmother. Leave the husband.

No, a godparent has no legal or ecclesiastical status. Your DC is stuck with them (my own GF converted from Judaism to Catholicism shortly before I was born. A year later he changed his mind. He reverted to being Jewish and I was raised a 'sort of' Catholic. That would have been excellent grounds for an annulment but it isn't a thing.

However, a husband who got married with no intention of remaining faithful could have made false vows and that could be a reason for an annulment. Why does the onus of blame appear to be on the GM not your DH here?

Liiinoo is right. A Godparent has no legal bearing and certainly doesn't take over care for your child if you die, as some people seem to think. That can only be done via a will.

You can't "un-Godparent" someone, but you can simply stop having anything more to do with them.

Don't worry about her, you should be prepping for divorce.

Godmother isn't a legal role. They are there to ensure your child is brought up in the Christian faith. Or more commonly provide extra Christmas and birthday presents.

Yours seems to have done a poor job of the traditional role and it's up to you what you do with the presents if your husband has dumped her.

The godmother is the least of your problems. Just stop contact. It's your husband you need to get rid of!!

I have no idea.

But I'd concentrate on your ex and getting things sorted there. Un-godparenting seems unnecessary, time wasting and spiteful (though I understand your reasoning)

Your DC are no better off with or without her being a godparent now. I'm pretty sure it has no legal status.

Best wishes op

I wish they could. My DSs GM was totally crap and, to add insult to injury, she thought this was hysterically funny. I don't keep in touch.
