Yes, you are legally married if your marriage was validly contracted in another country.

If you'd like to discuss your case in detail you would probably do well to find a local divorce attorney in Oswego, but if that doesn't work for you, feel free to get in touch.

Yes you are married. If your wife agrees to get divorced, then feel free to contact me, as my rates are often much lower than lawyers in your area. If the case will be contested (i.e. your wife will not go along with it), you will need to contact a local attorney.
