[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an fyi, in most US states, if you have a public ceremony and are married by an officiant, you’re considered legally married, even if a marriage license was never filed. I know this from personally experience (and have the divorce papers to prove it).[/quote]

Would you please provide the legal citations to support this assertion? It sounds absurd to me.

In fact, in many US jurisdictions an officiant who performs a marriage ceremony without a marriage license present is committing a misdemeanor crime, so I think you are full of it.

But I’m willing to give you the opportunity to provide evidence to support your assertion that any couple who engages in a ceremony and has an officiant declare them married is in fact legally married. [/quote]

Who are you to ask me to provide you with anything? I wish I were making this up.  It’s a fact. It happened to me. I was dumb and obnoxious like you and didn’t believe it was possible for me to be married because no license was filed with the state. I’d even asked my bff who thinks she’s a hot shot lawyer because she went to Cornell and works in BigLaw. She assured me, very confidently, that I wasn’t married. But just after I got engaged again, I double checked with a real family lawyer in the state. And then got a second opinion. Thank god I did, because otherwise I would have been guilty of polygamy.

Maybe you don’t know everything?[/quote]

Maybe you’re more than a little defensive and should calm down? NP.[/quote]

Wow, that's truly insensitive of you to attack someone who had to go through what PP went through. What is wrong with you?[/quote]
