I was separated a few months after my first marriage. 13 yrs later I looked for him but could not find him. I was told by a friend he had divorce me, so remarried now 20 yrs. Looking for divorce papers and could not find it. I am now legally divorce. Can I remarried my now husband without a Problem?
So first, let's clarify...you are sure you are divorced from the first spouse? And you have a final judgment from a court confirming same? Ok, so your second marriage is what lawyers would say is void ab initio. That's a fancy Latin way of saying that, under law, your second marriage never existed. So now, if you marry again (with the divorce decree in hand, so to speak) the marriage will then be legal.
You may have to address many other issues about property you own as husband and wife or other property and investments you have as husband and wife (when you were not), but getting (re)married is the start.
Best of luck,
