Hi asked:


As far as getting a married legally all the records remain within the same county? So if I got married in Windell I would not be and suppose if end up getting divorced and remarry in another county , my records for being previously married would not show?

How long does it take at the most for someone to get a greencard after marriage? How long will I able to remarry if I wanted to after my partner got a greencard?

Carlos S asked:


Are divorces public record in IL?

If so how much about them?

Where would a person look for the information on one if they are? Could it be found on line in the county it happened at? Do you have to look into the county the marriage happened at?

Hong Kong Marriage?

My younger brother married his filipina sweetheart in Hong Kong last year while vacationing there. After the wedding she returned to Philippines and he to the USA to start immigration paperwork. Now they decide not to remain married. She has second thoughts about leaving her family. No forms have been filed with US Immigration and neither were residents of HK so where does he/she file for divorce? Does the US recognize this marriage since no license has been recorded in the county clerks office?

What recourse do I have if I’ve discovered my husband was married to someone else at the time of our wedding?

Blaze asked:


I was searching through the online public records for a county he used to live in and saw he had a judgment awarded to him from a woman bearing his (our) last name two years after our wedding date. We are currently divorcing (but it’s not final yet) and I’m concerned if our marriage is invalidated, my settlement will be too.

Do people still get away with bigamy?

iThink asked:


I’m not talking about polygamists here. I’m talking about people who leave one spouse but never get legally divorced, then marry another person.

Since county clerks have computerized records now, wouldn’t they be able to look up this information whenever someone files for a marriage license and see that they are already married?

Bonus Question: Can someone get a credit card or utilities in a name that is not legally theirs? Like, if my sister is using her boyfriend’s last name, but *claiming* they are not married (because she’s still married to her ex–the ex says so) can she actually do it on legal agreements like credit cards and utilities?

Cant find marriage certificate?

Paige A asked:


My fiance is trying to get a divorce and he got ahold of the county office where his marriage records are and they cant find any record of them. Does this mean he isn’t married? he needs his marriage papers for a divorce…please help!!

before anyone asks…it was a contract marriage in the military and she cheated on him while he was in iraq (i read her written statements and his CO’s statements) and they were divorcing before we got together….
He’s in the military, so wouldn’t they need to see his marriage license. He recalls giving them the papers from the town hall, but no certificate. This either made the divorce a whole lot easier or a whole lot harder…

2 things, one. can this man get custody, two what can I do to prevent him from running off with our son?

My ex husband is verbally and has a record through Hardin County for domestic violence and assault. Not during our 10 year marriage but his previous marriage. I never reported abuse to authorities and now we are divorced. I live in KY and he was in KY up till few days ago. Now he moved to Canton, OH for a new position in his company and married the woman he had an affair with. He now is threatening me for custody of our 3 half year old son. I have very low income and live with my parents since he kicked us out of our home on Mothers day 2008. My ex said he hired a private investigator to follow me and that I’m exposing our son to bad things, and that I’m a lesbian, etc. None of this is true by any means. I have nothing on any records, I do not drink, do drugs. I have not dated any man since me and my ex parted. I have done everything for my son since day 1 of his life. Doctors visits, baths, sickness, just got him into preschool and therapy at 7 countues for his ADHD.

My ex has not done anything but got his everyother week visitations since I moved out. We have a custody agreement inside the property settlemet. It states he gets him every other weekend and pick up Friday at 4 and drop pff Sunday at 6pm. My ex moved and did not change the visitaion in any way through the courts. I’m scared he will take off with him to Canton, Ohio and not return him home to me. I called the police already and asked what they would do and they said all they could do is type up a report that he did not bring the chikd back when he should have. That I would have to get an attorney and fight him in Canton, Ohio to get our son back in my care.

Whats the point of having a custody order if it does not give the custodial parent the right to order thier child back home? I have been worring my self sick and just do not know what I can do? I heard he could even file for custody in Canton, Ohio even though our custody order is in Jefferson County, KY. Is anyone going through the same ordeal or has gone through this? I just need some direction. I know I will never a peace of mind as my ex is not someone who you can talk to. Thanks for any advice or help provided on here.
