fraud on a marriage license

What is the name of your state? Florida
An alias was used in obtaining a marrige license. Does this change the status of the marriage. Does this have an effect on the divorce. Thank you in advance

It is a crime. It gives grounds for a divorce. What are you looking for?

thanks for the response

I am the one at fault. It was 20 years ago, I was a younger, dumber pro musician who used his stage name on the application. Nothing malicious, no crimes to hide or any of that. Now I am ready to petition for divorce and I am just trying to find out where I stand. Is this grounds for anuhlment? Am I able to be charged for this stupidity? I am grateful for you insight.

best regards

Using an alias is not, in and of itself, a crime. Happens all the time. Heck, a nickname is a form of an alias (Bob Villa is probably actually "Robert")

No - you will need to get a divorce. Ask your (a) lawyer for advice.

but lying on a marriage license is. Whether he would be prosecuted though is highly unlikely.

OG - I think we're not disagreeing on this - rather just looking at this situation in a different way.

Let's say that John Smith uses the stage name of Johnny Rocket. Then, John Smith gets married, but puts Johnny Rocket on the application/license. That would not (necessarily) be a crime. There could, of course, be further factors that would change things

I think you are right. It depends on the reasons why he put Johnny Rocket on the application/license. I think we are agreeing.
