Legal Question in Family Law in California

No record of marriage

I was married in Riverside County (Mira Loma) CA 9/9/99. We filed for our marriage application in San Bernardino County. I have been trying to get a copy of my marriage license for a NV license and there is no record of marriage in either county. I have also searched thru vital-chek. I haven't lived with my husband since 10/06 when is was incarcerated (released 6/07) and moved from our home 2/07. I haven't seen or spoken a word to him since his incarceration. We do have a 4-yr old daughter. I understand that since I went through the marriage ceremony and lived as a married couple I can legally file for divorce. I have filed for child support and all properties have already been divided. My question is; I am planning on re-marrying later this year and was wondering if it was really necessary to file for divorce or could I re-marry without one since there is no record of marriage on file? I currently live in NV.

Re: No record of marriage

Your question indicates that you live in Nevada. If you qualify as a Nevada Resident then you can obtain the divorce in Nevada. Consult with a Nevada Attorney.

Re: No record of marriage

assume your marriage was valid and dissolve it before you get marriage again. if you don't your second marriage will be invalid.
