Hello,  
I have just found out that my son is married. He is of age. I also found out that the girl he married is still legally married. I also believe he was aware of that. In NC proof of a divorce is obviously not required when applying for a marriage license.  
In a case like this, are both parties breaking the law? I want to end this thing before it gets out of control.
