You can if you have a common-law marriage, (i.e. if you've lived together long enough. The law varies by state). Otherwise, you'd have to be legally married. Also, both a legal wife and a common-law wife cannot be considered next of kin, so the legal wife would win in that case.

If me and my partner married in Las Vegas and we live in the UK do we need to get a divorce now that we are no longer together and are now in other relationships?

Only if you're planing on getting married again.AnswerIf you are no longer together it would be better to get a divorce. He/she is still considered to be your next of kin and would be an heir to your estate if you are still legally married. You may be held liable for debts that he/she incurs too.


Dad has died not divorced but living with a partner for 33 years who is next of kin?

If he is still married, it will be the spouse if still living, otherwise it would be a child or parent. 'Living with a partner' doesn't supercede that relationship as they are not relatives and the partner will have no legal standing unless there is a will that names them as beneficiary. He could have life insurance with the partner as a beneficiary. The best thing to do would be to consult a lawyer but I'd say his wife if he's married and after that immediate family (e.g. son or daughter)
