I need to know if my marriage is binding. My hubby used his non-legal Ca Drivers license to show proof of ID when we got married in 1997. When I tried getting a copy of our marriage certificate there wasn't any. Under both our names, there isn't any work tax or driving records under my hubby's non-legal biological name only under his adoptive last name. The judge took that from him for his 6th felony DUI and so got a new license, which after DMV finally figured it out after 26 yrs suspended that as well
Additional info, added Saturday April 24 2021, 4:43 am: When we got married the only Ca ID he had at the time was the one he just received from DMV, the judge took his legal ID when he went to court, so he applied for a drivers license under his biological last name. He had his social security cardand original birth certificate with his name on it. DMV didnt know he had been legally adopted and that his name had changed to that, .

I am concerned, however, that you appear to be with someone who is an alcoholic. Since he chooses to repeatedly drive while under the influence, I would most definitely NOT get in a car with him behind the wheel! Ever ! [ DrStephanie's advice column | Ask DrStephanie A Question ]
solidadvice4teens answered Tuesday April 20 2021, 10:40 am: An even bigger question is why would he use a false document in the first place to get married or for anything else? You can no doubt find a lot of trouble for using it. Is your marriage legal? There have been court cases like this especially in Ontario, Canada where the judge ruled that it was not because the person was living under false identity.
Why are you guys breaking the law to begin with and hiding who you are? If the DMV has suspended his license after 26 years and figured out he's not using his real name than that isn't right.
If someone has committed 6 DUI's there's a problem there especially if he tried and got a license with a false name on purpose. Your morals not your marriage documents is more important. There's lessons here to be learned that frankly haven't.
If you want to know if everything is legal I would consult a lawyer and tell them the truth about what went on in '97 the DUI's and use of false ID and let them figure out where you legally stand. In the meantime please use your real identity from hereon out. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
