    Default Am I Legally Married in New York State

    My question involves divorce in the State of: New York

    We were married in the carribean 3 years ago but we never registered ourselves in the state of new york as being married. We have been living together, had a child and paid taxes as a married couple. My wife recently moved herself and my child to the state of California. My question is:

    1) Am I legally married in New York?
    2) If not, what is she entitled to?
    3) If yes, what is she entitled to?
    4) Do I have better case because she moved herself and my child out of the state of the new york without my permission.

    You may or may not be married. You would need to go over the details with an attorney. Even if you are not married you are still responsible for child support. She will have to file in New York for CS and division of property. She can file for divorce in CA.

    If they were married in another country, they still need to file for recognition in the state they're residing in for their marriage to be recognized? Will their tax records be proof enough that they're married? I'm just curious as I am in the same situation.

    Not sure if this will help but..

    My dad and mom was married 30 somewhat years now, in South America, they got separated about 3 years ago. They had to do a divorce process, and they never registered in NYS. So in a sense, how can they go tru the divorce process in NYS but never register as married in this country? So they might be some loopholes.

    Good Luck
