You need to get a legal divorce as soon as possible. Then once it has been finalized you must marry your second spouse again. Your second marriage is not valid and you may find yourself in trouble if you have been holding yourself out as married. For example- on your tax returns, insurance, property owned as tenants by the entirety, etc.

I don't want my fiancee to know I was previously married and divorced so when we go to apply for a marriage license do the clerks REALLY search to see if you were married in the past?
If you had a recent divorce then yes, you would have to show proof you were legally divorced. If you were wise you should tell your husband the truth because starting out in a new marriage and breaking that bond of trust so soon will hurt him deeply and cause problems in your marriage. Marriage is love, honesty and loyalty. Many people have been divorced and remarried. Someone in your family or a friend will eventually leak out that you were married before and this will hurt your fiancee deeply and possibly ruin your chances of getting married as he will wonder what other secrets you are holding back from him.
If your husband was married in CA when he married you in Tijuana are you married?
It does not matter where a marriage happens. If a person goes though a marriage ceremony with someone when they are already legally married to someone else, then the second marriage ceremony is not legally valid and you are not married. The person who is already married is also committing a crime. So the answer is - No you are not married. You should also be aware that his first wife is his legal heir at law if he should die and leave any estate. You have no rights in that regard and you have no husband.

Once you are divorced, you are no longer married so the license is null. However, if you have been married for a decade or more before the divorce, you should hold on to a copy of the marriage license.
Should you blame yourself if you slept with a married woman and now she is getting separated or divorced?
There were probably problems in her marriage long before you came along, but the point is, you didn't help matters and dating someone that is still married isn't right. I think you know that deep down. If you are still seeing this married woman then ask her. Marcy
Can a Catholic not married in the Catholic church but divorced with a child from the marriage marry a Catholic in the church?
You should be ok. Many of them welcome all and don't bar anyone in particular from marrying in the Church provided you can afford the service. If you were baptized Catholic and married in a civil ceremony with no church approval at that time, and divorced, you can marry in the Catholic Church. Your new spouse has to meet guidelines, however; for example if he/she was married in the churchas Catholic and divorced he cannot marry you unless his first marriage was annulled.
If an illegal alien got married to his cousin then got divorced and recently remarried Can he be penalized?

My husband thought he was divorced. We just got married and now he's filing for divorce in Las Vegas. We know our marriage is voided. Can he get in trouble?
He is not your husband. You can only be married to one person at a time in the United States. It is against the law to knowingly marry while still married to another person. That crime is called bigamy. It is difficult to erroneously "think" you are divorced when you have never received a judgment of divorce or participated in a divorce action. In Nevada a divorced person who applies for a marriage license must attest that the divorce is final, provide the date of the divorce and the location (city and state) where they were divorced. To provide false information is a violation of law. He must have lied on the marriage license application when he "married" you. He should make an appointment with an attorney to determine what he needs to do to rectify the situation. You should accept that he is legally married to his wife until he obtains a valid divorce.
Should the church know you are a divorcee if you want to get married in church?
AnswerYes. The church is required by law to verify that you are not already married, before performing your marriage. They therefore need to know that you have been married before and that you are now divorced and can be married again. Also, some churches will not perform marriages for divorced people, and are then entitled to know whether you have already been married.If being honest with your church minister results in the church declining to marry you because of your divorce, you may either look for another church or talk to a marriage celebrant, who can perform a civil wedding if you are divorced.
