Q: My fiancee is currently incarcerated.
When he first went in, he was dating someone else. He put down that he was married to her even though he wasn't. Now that we are back together, I cannot visit him because he's listed as married even though he's not. He even got proof from the county in which they lived stating that they were never married. However, that's not good enough for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. He was told he will have to file for divorce but how can he do that if he was never legally married to this woman?
A: "Common Law Marriage" comes to my mind. But, the facts are a bit sparse. Contact your local Oklahoma Family Law Attorney. TJP
