What is the name of your state? Florida
My wife and I were married in Florida in Dec, 2002. She had lived with a man before that for 17 years. they resided in Maine and were not married. Prior to Maine, they resided in Rhode Island. He says they are wed by common law, she says she never considered herself married, though she had changed her last name to his. Is this a case of bigamy?.....more specifics are available, if needed. Also, I am going to claim her as a deduction on my taxes, and he says he is too. Is there a problem with him claiming her? Or me?
Thank you
