His divorce isn't legal....now what? My fiance was married in 99. His wife cheated on him and left him for his own brother. She filed divorce papers, he signed them and all was well. Or so he thought. We were in the process of getting married when we found out that his divorce was not legal. She filed everything in Mexico which according to everything we have read is not legally binding unless one of the two of them lived in Mexico for 6 months. She married his brother within a couple of weeks of the finalized Mexico divorce by lying on the marriage lic. application saying they had been divorced longer than what they were. The brother and the wife are now going through divorce in the county we live in. What do we need to do now? They have been separated for over 8 years, she re-married and is divorcing, and we are stuck now with a mess. We cannot get married. We cannot afford an attorney and have no clue where to start.Do we file regular divorce papers? Is there any way to speed things up? We are in Cali and I know in normal situations there is a 6 month wait before a divorce is finalized.Help please.
