accidental bigamy-annulment needed to remarry? ?

[ktagseth]

What is the name of your state? AZ
I had thought my previous marriage was signed and a done deal on the 7th of April. I got remarried to my high school sweetheart on the 10th of April. I found out that my divorce did not get signed and filed until the 19th/24th of April. Making my current marriage void. I am told I need to get it annulled, as it was never legal, but my question is do I have to go through a whole regular annulment with a 60 day waiting period or are there special circumstances (this marriage being null from the get go), that allow for a more expedited end. I would like to legally be married to my high school sweetheart and also want to know if while waiting on the annulment which erases the non-legal marriage, I can go get legally married. Since my first marriage is now officially ended in divorce and the new marriage has no legal standing, and needs to be annuled, I would like to know what is the best, and easiest way to clear up this comedy of errors and end up married to my sweetheart?????????? What is the quickest way to get the void marriage annulled and can I get remarried in the meantime since the other one was not legal. This is a lifetime movie in the making, but I prefer a happy ending.

I believe the marriage would be null and void, since you were still married at the time of the second marriage. You might google Arizona State Statutes, however, and see what you can find there.

Thanks for the advise, but I am googling myself silly with this and can't seem to find legal answers that would afford my some solace in knowing what to do...I am patiently waiting for my attorney to make time to research it

It is VOIDABLE.
