Asked in CA May 19, 2022 ,  0 answers
I was married (my 2nd marriage) and later found out that my first marriage divorce had not been completely final (even though i signed and thought things were done). Time passed and we never went through a new ceremony or signed any paperwork or anything and now my 2nd marriage (can I call it that?) is ending and she wants a divorce. My questions are, do we actually need to file for divorce if we were not actually legally married? What about her requests for alimony and child support?

You are going to have to file for annulment. Your second wife, who rightfully had reason to believe that you were divorced from your first wife, is called a "putative" spouse. You are still going to have issues such as division of property and support.
