The lack of a marriage license, or irregularities in "sending it in," do not usually negate a marriage. Was there a ceremony? Did you and she live together and represent yourselves to others as husband and wife?
How did you get "full custody?"
You need to go talk to a good family lawyer. Call one and tell him you'll give him $100 if he'll consult with you and give you some advice.
