If you get married in Canada is it legal in the US?
Answer I can't be too sure on how legal it is as you are Canadian and you married out of the country. I'd contact Immigration Canada to find out how legal your marrige is. * You can be married outside of Canada and be legally recognized as married in Canada. You simply need to show the marriage certificate. The marriage certificate is less important than it used to be for legal reasons, however. What is more important is the duration that a couple cohabitates (lives together).

Is your marriage legal if you were married on US soil but divorced on foreign soil?
Under the assumption that the original marriage was by a priest (religious - versus JOP-legal), a divorce is valid anywhere in the world. Marriage is "in the eyes of God". The legal term marriage is for property settlement, child responsibility, etc. If no ceremony took place and the union was Common Law, then being together for 2 years establishes the legal basis for marriage (in most states). Being separated for 1 or more years typically undoes the union - plus consideration for children and common property. Marriage is man made, recognized by religious organizations (helps promote the organization) and recognized by governments (for the money it generates). Typically, each recognizer of a marriage is that way for their respective benefit (most often the growth of capital).
