Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon
Found out I had remarried three weeks before my divorce became final. This happened in 1979..Wondering if I am legally married or not?
1 Answer from Attorneys
No, you are not legally married, at least not under Oregon law. The marriage to wife #2 was void from the beginning because you were still married to wife #1. Passage of time does not legitimize a marriage that was void from the beginning.
To fix the problem (now that you are legally divorced from Wife #1) you need to get married to Wife #2 all over again. That will make the second marriage legal and legitimate.
PS: Don't forget to buy Wife #2 a new ring. That also will help fix the problem. :-)
