What is the name of your state? Texas
My then fiance and I applied for a marriage license in March 1997. In Texas, a couple has 30 days to use the license and a waiting period of 72hrs. We used our license on the fourth day after recieving it but never returned it. Since then we have broken up and my husband claims he destroyed the license. I still have proof of a marriage i.e. videotape w/time&date stamp, witnesses, and the minister that married us is a good friend of mine. My husband has remarried now and I want a divorce in order to get remarried. Can I do this? Do I have enough proof to prove that we were indeed married? Is this a legal marriage even though the state has no record of it? Does this make him a bigamist? He figured that destroying the license resolved the marriage and I told him it didnt.
