Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

My husband (we have been seperated for 5 years) informed me that we were not legally married because he gave an incorrect name, His was emmett kenneth and he gave kenneth emmet also gave false SS# and other info. I wanted to know if this is true, if so I am going to have my name back to maiden name. We were married in Whyte County Virginia. I live in another state from him but I wanted to know if I needed to do anything legally if we were never married I won't have to file for divorce.
