I live in Aurora, CO. My 2 month old son's father and I decided to get married and obtained a marriage license on 5/3/2010. The state of Colorado allows couples to self solemize their own marriage without witnesses. The license just had to be signed by both the groom and the bride twice and mailed back to be filed with the recorder. He obviously got cold feet because right after I signed the certificate on 5/6/2010 I walked away to tend to the baby and didn't physically see him sign anything. He says he did, and that he mailed it the same day. Well here it is, 5/19 and the recorder has no record of the certificate ever making it back. He was using my address, and allowed my family and friends to believe that we had gotten married and we had supposedly even consummated the marriage on 5/7/2010. He used me for about 1800 dollars which helped him get a car and then he moved out on 5/17 stating that he wasn't sure if this is what he wanted anymore. He can't afford an annulment but neither can I. I had to come off maternity leave early because I am broke. I will file for child support but- without that certificate getting recorded am I married????
