Also if I may can I ask one more question. My former husband and I were married in the DC Temple . We were divoiced many years ago. He has been excommunicated. If my now husband joins the church and later we would want to be sealed in the temple ....what is the exact process to go through to get "unsealed" from my first husband in essence a temple divoice? Also will he have to be contacted ...although I do know what city he lives in and his address would not be imposible to find I would prefer that he not be contacted. Is it a MUST that he be?

As to your second question. It has been my experience that your ex will have to be contacted, however, it has been a while since I had to deal with these issues. Either way, it will be handled through your Bishop. Have faith in him. He will help you on you path back into activity.
