What is the name of your state? Arkansas
Here is the situation: April 30th license obtaind, May 1st ceremony performed by minister. 2 weeks prior I learned that my cancer would cause me to die before my 5 year old sees the light of 10 years. Lots of duress. License has NEVER been filed. We have no joint ventures of any kind. I have never used his "name". Nothing in our lives changed, with the exception of a ceremony ....... he is now "gone" and I need to know if the law considers me legally married to this man to where I need a divorce or an annulment? My question basically is since marriage license was never filed to where a marriage certificate was issued... does that mean I'm legally free of this man????
