No, i don't think so.

Some paws would let you of, while others would prosecute you for bigamy.

Divorce, like marriage, has to be filed, so no one gets into trouble or has the wrong surname.

Actually if the divorce was never filed then techinically the two people who want to be divorced are still married. If you marry one of these people then it is illegal but it isn't your fault so I wouldn't worry.
