Please Help!!! I was married in a church, by a Priest. I just found out that we are not registered in the state of WA. They have no records of us being married. We figured that the Priest who married us didn't send in our marriage papers that we had signed before he married us. Legally, are we married? Legally, would I need to file for a divorce?

Talk to a local lawyer just to be sure - sounds bogus to me

Here are a few thoughts>If in the USA> Did you file joint returns as married>As that might be a issue>contact the priest and ask him where the marriage papers are he might of recorded them in an other county??You did change your last name>>>Best find out as if you were to remarry someday than this could reappear and make big issues>

if the priest didn't send the papers in, you aren't legally married. go to the courthouse. they'll help you. why would you need to legally divorce?
