Divorce & Annulment

questions & answers

Question: Hello. I am finally attempting to get a divorce from my husband. I am from WA State and fled to get away from him and his family who were threatening my children and I. We have one small child together. When he was a child his mom changed his last name, not legally from his birth name to her maiden name. And we were married with her maiden name, not the name on his birth certificate. My question is does this make our marriage legal?

Answer:

The following is general information only. For legal advice regarding specific circumstances, please seek legal help.

Superior courts may dissolve a marriage, and may declare a marriage to be null and void when the cause alleged constitutes an impediment that makes the marriage void. A.R.S. 25-301.
