You need a consult with a local attorney. Your marriage may or may not still be valid. A local attorney is a better source for your answers.

While I can agree with LD I would also be sure to ask the attorney about putative spouse. Google if you would like. You thought you were legally married and therefore you may still be treated as such.

Thanks for the direction, If I had money to throw around on a lawyer I would have called one, unfortunately I dont. But thanks for your time and advise.

Getting a consult with an attorney is not necessarily expensive. No one was suggesting at this point that you need to hire one, only that you need to consult with one.
