Ok so I know the answer already, but I need some other options on this. Mods if this is not in the right area, please feel free to move. I just need to vent a little bit!
A friend of mine is down in the Dominican Republic right now. She is planning on getting married on February 6th. Funny thing is, she is still married here in Canada. She can't even file for divorce until the end of April. And according to the DR consulate website, she is suppose to wait for 10 months until after it is even final to get remarried in the DR. Her boyfriend wanted a quick marriage, he is 25 and she is 39. And the killer is she only met him in November and has sent him down close to 2000.00 since her last visit in December. I have given up an telling her about the resort guys and how they work. I said, stop sending him money and see what happens.
Ok back to the marriage thing.
Her boyfriend told her that he knows of a lawyer down in the DR that will get her papers saying that she has single status and that she has never been married before, so she can get married down there. Is she really that stupid, yes she is, she is still married up here. What the hell is she thinking.
So are there lawyers down there that do this kind of thing? Her marriage isn't going to be vaild, right? Like she is still married up here in Canada.
She will never be able to bring him here to Canada because she needs to prove that they are married, when they got married and etc.
Is this marriage even going to be vaild.
I have washed my hands of trying to tell her to read this forum and seek some guidence. I don't even know if I am going to be able to face her when she comes back. This is all just a big sham and just to funny. I can't stop laughing at how stupid she is, thinking that this marriage is going to be legal. What is she thinking????
Ok that was my vent, I have no one else to really vent to about this and I just need some other options. I know that people on here will just tell me how it is and I am looking forward to that. That is why I love everyone on here.
Cheers

PS, kind of wish I was there to watch this sham of a marriage and to get the heck out of this snow!
