A "meretricious spouse" is a person who is involved in a supposed marriage which is void or voidable due to reasons of legal incapacity. (adapted from a legal dictionary). This term could be compared to, and distinguished from the term "putative spouse". Actual knowledge of the questionability (or actual invalidity) of the marriage may be a factor, and WHEN such knowledge (if any) was acquired may be an important factor in the characterization of such a spouse's legal status. If in doubt and in need to know, consult an attorney licensed in the jurisdiction, and / or research the issues at your local law library.
