Temple sealing cancellation with formal membership restricted member

[morfie]

I have a member that is on a formal membership restriction and wants to cancel her sealing to her ex-husband. I have tried to look in the handbook and help section and cannot find if this is allowed or if the member has to be in full fellowship before we can create an application to cancel their sealing.
Advice or policy links would be appreciated.

Thanks

Not a direct answer, but something that does apply. (Emphasis mine)

General Handbook 38.4:

Members who have concerns about the eternal nature of the sealing ordinance and their associated family and spousal relationships can find peace in the knowledge that Heavenly Father is loving and just. Faithful children who are sealed to parents or born in the covenant retain the blessing of eternal parentage. This is so even if their parents cancel their marriage sealing, have their Church membership withdrawn, or resign their membership.

Members who are divorced but still sealed to the former spouse are often troubled by the thought of that sealing. The sealing will not be compulsory in the postmortal life for either a man or a woman. If temple covenants are broken and no repentance is made, the sealing between the husband and wife is revoked. However, those who keep their covenants will retain the individual blessings provided by the sealing. This is the case even if the spouse has broken the covenants or withdrawn from the marriage.

Once a cancellation of sealing has been approved by the First Presidency, individual blessings pertaining to that sealing are no longer in force. Priesthood leaders counsel with members seeking a cancellation of a sealing to help them understand these principles. However, priesthood leaders should honor the agency of the member in these decisions.

Ideally, the only reason for her to get a cancelation would be because she has someone else she wants to be sealed to. Given her current situation, that's not happening soon.
