Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Divorced / Putative?

I am not sure I understand your question, but will provide some information regarding putative spouse. A putative spouse is a person whose marriage is void for some reason. The person claiming putative spouse status must have a good faith belief that they are legally married. Once that person learns that they are not married they should no longer qualify as a putative spouse. Filing for divorce would not automatically terminate the marriage. He could still be your spouse, but would not be your putative spouse.
