I sympathize with all of you, who have had to try to figure out the ever-changing temple marriage and divorce rules, that are altered if you have a relative in an important church position. Ificouldhietokolob's wife must have had some CLOUT! My hairdresser who's father was a personal friend of GB Hinckley's, got her temple divorce in two months.
For me, my ex had the GA connection. I was NEVER granted a temple divorce. No, not even when, several years later, I was engaged to a good, faithful TBM, and we had already scheduled a sealing room in the temple. My large football-player cousins tracked down my wife-beater ex, and demanded that he fill out the form. My ex was a criminal, yet TSCC needed his judgment as to whether I was faithful to him, whether I wore my temple garments (isn't that ridiculous?), whether I attended church meetings, etc. I guess it was OK that he beat me, repeatedly, for no reason, and put me in the hospital.
When my cousins found my ex, he had been remarried in the temple for two years. He needed no form from me. I was in a polygamous temple sealing, until I finally resigned. I was sure to state that my temple marriage was NULL AND VOID, and I said that my children had nothing to do with the temple, and were not sealed to that thug.
To the end, church leaders said that my children, born 4+ years after my divorce, were automatically sealed to a criminal wife-beater for eternity! Such nonsense! The kids resigned with me.
No, a man does not need any judgment from an ex temple wife, but a woman needs it from her ex temple husband.
I love gettinreal's response, and the others.
We are done with jumping through Mormon hoops!
