Am I Legally Married?

[Haroldbisset1]

My wife never divorced her last husband and we have been married for 9 years now and we are trying to get a divorce is it necessary to divorce and is my marriage legal in the state of Florida?

[Mr. Knowitall]

You should get a divorce or an annulment. Otherwise you run the risk that, down the road, your next spouse will be here asking the same question.

How does an annulment work in florida? Her lawyer says divorce i want an annulment. Can i go do this myself at the courthouse?

If you don't know the difference between an annulment and a divorce, then you have no business representing yourself.

But I will tell you that a divorce is much easier.

I know the difference between anullment and divorce just wondering why she is set at divorce instead of anullment.

She likely does not wish to go into a court and swear under oath that her marriage should be declared void because she engaged in bigamy.
