My (ex) wife and I have lived apart as a divorced couple for more than 20 years although we never finished legal proceedings. We have filed our taxes this way, have titled ourselves this way. We haven't seen each other in 4 or 5 years, I'm not even sure exactly where she lives now. We have no property between us and the two children are both in their mid-late twenties.
I want to re-marry someone else. Is this first marriage considered "abandoned", or do I still need to go through a divorce?
If so, how long under these circumstances would I normally wait? This is in New York State, we were married in CT.
