Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Re: Legally Married or Not

The short answer to your question is yes. However, it does not mean that the marriage could not be challenged if your spouse was so inclined. In my opinion, your marriage would be recognized by a Michigan Court as long as you can prove the authenticity of your marriage paperwork in Jamaica. This means that any documents in a foreign language would need to be translated into English, and you will probably need certified copies of the Jamaican marriage certificates. Remember, this is only if one of the parties wants to claim that they are not married and the marriage is not valid. I hope this answers your question.
