married in two states

[sawyer]

Missouri. My boyfriend married the same girl in two different states so how would we go about getting a divorce from her. We live in the state of missouri. Would one divorce cover both marriages? I really need help on this please

Ummmm.... why?

For some reason, this made me smile.


Edit: CJane - I think you're right.

I'm thinking it can't possibly matter what state(s) he was married in... it's not as if anyone else would have to file for divorce in the state in which the marriage took place (I was married in KS and divorced in MO)...

But I'd love to know WHY this guy got married to the same person more than once... presumably without a divorce taking place in between. Is it bigamy if it's mulitple marriages to the same person?

Maybe they were so in love they renewed their vows on their anniversary. I can see why the OP wants him for herself, he must be very romantic

Missouri To clarify why he was married in two states is because the woman he married told him the first marriage wasn't leagal and he belived her

Well, if the first marriage wasn't legal then its the second marriage that has to be listed in the divorce. However, if the first marriage WAS legal, then its the reverse.

Your boyfriend needs to consult an attorney.
