S10 Ep86: What Happens if You Remarry Without Finalizing Your Divorce?

#ChooseGoldman Remarrying before your original divorce is officially finalized makes your second marriage void ab initio, or invalid from the beginning. If an old divorce case was dismissed for no progress, you remain legally married to your first spouse and must properly resolve the initial case before legally remarrying. • Remarrying prior to the entry of a final divorce judgment results in an invalid second marriage. • Many people incorrectly assume a prior divorce was finished when the court actually dropped the case for no progress. • Unresolved prior marriages are often discovered years later when applying for Social Security or retirement benefits. • An invalid second marriage is considered void from the beginning under Michigan law and requires an annulment. • Resolving the situation requires finalizing the original divorce, annulling the second marriage, and remarrying legally.
