I was married about 17 years ago in the Bahamas. We are now about to go through a divorce. We never at any point filed any certificate or paper work in the U.S.. Is our marriage legal in the U.S.? Thanks!

A Bahamian marriage license is a legal document issued by the Bahamian government and is recognized in the U.S.

Exerpt: Validity of Marriages Abroad
In general, marriages which are legally performed and valid abroad are also legally valid in the United States. Inquiries regarding the validity of a marriage abroad should be directed to the attorney general of the state in the United States where the parties to the marriage live.
