Re: Married or Divorced

I'm glad you clarified your question from a few days ago. If you married your wife and then divorced her in the U.S., and then re-married he in Panama, you are definitely still married. If you married her twice before divorcing her once, you are divorced. The second wedding ceremony did not make you more married than you already were, and only one divorce was necessary to end the marriage.
