Re: annulment of divorce

Sec. 20-38.1 of the Code of Virginia indicates that a marriage entered into before one of the spouses' prior marriage has been properly dissolved, is an illegal marriage and void or voidable under the law of the Commonwealth.

You should likely arrange to consult with an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in Virginia domestic relations law and who should be able to advise you as to an appropriate course of action for your particular situation.
