Re: marriage
Your question is more complex than it may appear on its face. The question is who neglected to record the marriage license. If it was the person solemnizing the marriage failed to file the license then the marriage is valid. The best approach is to get a court order that either the marriage void or that the marriage has been dissolved by court order.

In a general sense, if the marriage was solemnized, you are legally married.
