The Question:
I married a man who was already married in Mexico without my knowledge. Is my marriage even legal? We separated in 1985, and he got deported over 10 years ago.
RJ Says:
If he was legally married, then it was not legal for him to marry again. Therefore your marriage to him never, in fact, took place in a legal sense. I have handled this exact matter before and filed a “Petition for Annulment” simply to have the Court declare, for the world so to speak, that my client was never married.
