Need help - married or not?

I've just checked back and I used the following service to obtain and forward certificated copies of the licence from the Clark County Office (as I said above, they don't accept credit card orders which is pretty inconvenient when you're back in the UK. In the US, you send them their version of a postal order, but that ain't much use from here.)

They were pretty efficient. I think I paid about £20 ish for 2 copies, which included the Clark country fee, and the postage back to here. I think I received the certificates within a week or so. You need to tell them the names, dates and place of marriage, or as much as you know.
Good luck.0 -
Hi
*** CORRECTION ***
My apologies Whyohwhy. In the two years since we got married, they seem to have changed their ordering process and will now accept CCs. Here's a link.

Once you've got the certificate, then a "quickie" divorce, on the grounds of separation for 2 years, sounds easiest - assuming both parties agree. You won't need a solicitor unless there is anything contentious (property, children.)
Start off here - there's a link to download the petition form:

Thanks
They do - use the link I posted - "You may order documents online using a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express)"0 -
This may be an urban myth too, but did you and your husband ever do the 'business', or could you get the marriage annulled on the grounds of non-consummation? (I don't really know what I am talking about and am too lazy to google it!)
I was wondering something similar. Have you looked into the possibility of getting it annulled? Or is this only applicable within a set time?February wins: Theatre tickets0
