Marriage laws are determined by your state of residence. Most states follow the general rules that if your marriage was legal in the place you got married, it is legal and valid in other states/countries too.

If you were married in Guatemala and the marriage was valid there, you will have to get a divorce before you can remarry. You can divorce in the state where you now live.
