Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

ReMarried Before Divorce

A friend of mine told me that she had got married, but was not sure if her divorce was final. In fact, the only thing that she had received was a notice of filing, so I'm guessing that her divorce is still pending. So with that in mind, is she really married? The reason she wants to know is, I guess this one isn't working out either and wants to get spousal support. Thank you for your time, and your service.

She can go to the clerk's office andlook at her file. She cannot do this over the telephone due to the sensitivity of divoce cases and the privacy concerns. This is a service I can perform for you.

If she is not divorced, she needs to get her second marriage annulled and she could still get alimony because the second marriage is not valid and only until she is divorced can she marry.

Re: ReMarried Before Divorce

If she re-married before getting divorce the marriage is void. She should get an annulment based upon the ground that she was already married. She should also proceed to complete the divorce of her marriage.
