Official in the eyes of the church

The last time I got something 'official' from the Catholic Church it was the certificate for my first communion. It now seems that two years after my divorce the Diocese of Jefferson City (Missouri) will be sending me a 'nullity decree' which 'says that our marriage was not done according to Catholic law, and therefore doesn't count as a Catholic marriage.' Ah, it's so wonderful to hear from the ex after so long a silence.
