until you get divorce from the court you both are still said to be in marriage.
If not legally separated, you will probably have to wait until open enrollment through your employer to cancel her insurance. If you do get legally separated, you can cancel insurance as you have had "change in status." Usually insurance companies will process changes outside of open enrollment when you have a change in family status. An example of this would be getting married, having a baby, or getting divorced/legally separated.
It isn't the birth father, no one will ever change the childs birth father, but he will legally be the step father,until the divorce comes through.
No, if you divorce it does not automatically count as a legal name change in the USA. You can still use your married name the rest of your life, although this is uncommon. Most divorcees change back to their maiden name after divorce.
You get married.
You can change your name to whatever you want when you get married, and you can also legally change your name while married and you will still be legally married unless you file and complete the divorce process.
If not legally married you have no rights or benefits of inheritance unless the decedent named you in their will.
Never, A male can get a sex change but still is considered a male.
Yep! But you can always get a divorce!
You will need to see a judge to have your marriage nullified. He will then need to get a divorce and then you will have to get married legally. There also may be some criminal penalties because it is against the law to be married to two people at the same time. Additionally, you may have some issues with the IRS as you can not file as married if you are not legally allowed to marry.
Answer It's always wise to get a divorce when you realize you won't get back with your ex mate. I was married before and filed for divorce immediately. You can still do so and there is a Statute of Limitations after being separated after so many years and having no contact. Go for it! Clean up you past problems and venture off to that new country. Good luck!
