So me and my wife are getting a dissoluation, we got married by my friend who got ordaided on the net however after reading into this i guess in ohio you have to file papers with the state which he didnt so i guess what i'm asking is since the marriage was never legal we dont have to get the dissoluation right? if thats the case then what would we have to do to get it off the records?

I suppose that would depend on whether the government issued a Marriage License to you.

hmmmm I love getting "ordained" on the internet....anyone with the right amount of cash can be "ordained" on the net but that doesn't mean they are a member of any clergy. And then there are those gullible people who take those who buy their "degrees" seriously...If I were you I would check with the state of Ohio, if you walk away thinking you're not legally married and then get married later on and this one IS legal you can go to prison for bigamy...

Did you take vows? Did your county recognize your marriage by recording it? Then yes, you are married, you wont get out on something like that. If she is leagally using your name, you have filed taxes together, and by all intent have lived as man and wife. What do you think?
Getting it off the record will never happen, it will always be on record.
Now, your friend on the otherhand, could get into some trouble over this, fraud.....maybe.

If he was not ordained then it's not a legal marriage. For one you should have got married by someone you knew was ordained. To this getting ordained over the net is bull, first of all God has to call you, you just can't say oh I want to be a preacher.... If you want a true marriage then go to someone that you trust to be a true God called preacher.

I would think that if you were never legally married, it wouldn't be on any records. You can find out by going to the courthouse in whatever town you live in and look it up, it should be public record. If your name's not in there then you're probably not married.

I'm not familar with Ohio, but if it was done by a "non-ordained" person, I would assume that you can persue an annulment?

You need to talk to an attorney about that. Sorry thats all I got for this question.

if your friend was ordained, the marriage is legal, and you have to get divorced
