What if you are married in another country and get married in the US then divorce the foreigner?

For starters, the foreign national has committed a crime of perjury for stating that they were single and could get married. One has to wonder what other falsifications are going to come forward in this relationship. One should contact the consulate for their country in a local embassy for more information on this.

∙ 13y agoIt really depends on the laws of the country you live in. Some countries may not honor a US marriage and this may cause legal problems for the American living abroad. Check with the country you live in to determine your status if you're in this situation.
It may invalidate your second marriage.

∙ 11y agoIt's a dicey situation. As long as you kept the foreign marriage totally secret, you would be ok. If the foreign marriage became public knowledge, your US marriage would be considered void, and you could be prosecuted for fraud and/or perjury. It seems like a situation best avoided.

∙ 9y agoNo. Marriage is a legal status. You need to obtain a divorce to marry again.
Your second marriage would not be valid. To knowingly marry while still married to another person is a crime.
