Woman due to marry long-term partner discovers he isn't actually divorced from his ex-wife

A woman has turned to the internet for advice after fearing she will need to cancel her July wedding as her long-term partner is still married to his wife. In a Mumsnet post, the woman described how devastated she was at the shocking news.

She said that her and her partner of 10 years booked their wedding in January, and when her partner's children went home to their mum and told her she said: "She pointed out that when they had separated 12 years ago they had never actually got divorced. My partner says he can’t actually remember this but yes, it turns out they are still married."

The husband-to-be started divorce proceedings almost immediately after finding out the news back in January but now the July wedding is looking less and less likely to happen as they have to give notice of intent to marry in June.
