IF A MARRIAGE IS NOT REGISTERED, CAN A COUPLE OBTAIN A DIVORCE?

Occasionally, clients who were married in a private religious ceremony or in a other country come to our office asking for a divorce without ever having registered their marriage in the state or applicable county.  The easy answer is that the courts views are if a couple was never married in their records, a divorce cannot be granted.  However, many times there are still issues that may need to be addressed by the court such as child support and custody, asset/liability division, etc.  To learn more about this unique situation, please feel free to contact one of our experienced family law attorneys.
