Your marriage in July of 2008 was not valid, but it may have become so by continuing to reside together and considering yourselves to be husband and wife after her divorce was finalized in August of 2008. There are issues that you might want to consider before deciding how you want to proceed, and those could have a significant impact on the financial outcome of your case.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
