If you have not gotten a divorce from the first mate then you are still married to them. In Canada, if you are separated for 7 years then you can apply to the courts for a divorce without your husband being there. I am not sure if 7 years applies in yours state so go to: www.Google.com ASK: If you are separated from your husband what is statute of limitations for a divorce in ___________? ****Put the name of your State in. Good luck Marcy

∙ 15y agoIf you are still married when you marry your new spouse the second marriage will not be legal. Even if you divorce your first spouse during your second marriage, it will still not be legal. You have to be divorced BEFORE you marry again.

∙ 9y agoIt would guessed that due to the first marrage being not legal or not authroised offically, that being married 'again' would be perfectly legal, other than any personal issues that may be involved.
However if the first marrage was illegal, depending on your location and current government stance- than it probably doesn't count as offical either. In this case than a 'second' marriage would be assumed to be perfectly legal.
