Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
Divorce
My wife and I were married legal in both Illinois and in Arizona. We were first legally married in IL in a private ceremony. We were then legally married in AZ in a ceremony for the families. Both marriages had certificates and were filed with the state. If we were to seek a divorce, in which state should we seek it? Do we have to seek divorce in both States? Would a divorce in one stated be honored in the other State. If we legally divorce in Illinois, would se still be considered married because of AZ? What do we need to do to be fully, validly divorced?
