“It was found during a follow-up investigation with the reverend that Kristin Spearman pursuant to the scheme of obtaining a marriage certificate, convinced the reverend to certify the victim and Kristin in the Holy Union of Matrimony without the knowledge of the victim and his required presence,” the release reportedly said.
Spearman then allegedly took the certified license to the county clerk’s office, where it was filed as a “certificate of official marriage.”

Weird comment, considering she was arrested and charged with a felony.
My friend had a heart attack during a divorce proceeding and was on medical leave for 3 months recovering. He was required to pay a sum that was 110% of his gross pay while he was on medical leave.
Super-bad divorce settlements happen.
They also said he’s going through quite a process to fix the situation…so he may still end up with some baggage to deal with.

That sounds like a police problem…
None of that implies that it’s because of any influence she has on the situation, much less the fanfic that was written about her getting half his stuff.
Ok. So, what does the law say about trying to legally annul a marriage based on fraud? Because I would assume this is a pretty rare case, that doesn’t have a lot of case-law to fall back on.
A contract based ln fraud is always nullified. Isn’t marriage a contract?
I would assume so. But with that in mind, fraud would have to be proven in order to nullify it…which means he may have to wait for her to be convicted before that can happen. I have no doubt he won’t be on the hook for anything in the end, but I imagine it isn’t as simple as just getting it annulled. Even a regular annulment can be contested, and fought in court. This would probably end up being even more complicated.
Seems like there’s a chunk missing here… What was her cock and bull story that got this approved?
So many words for what’s essentially a 2 sentence story.
What we all want to know though is: did she successfully change his name too?
This article is a mess.
Firstly, “Reverend” is an adjective, not a title. Sounds like it was a priest, minister, or pastor depending on denomination. It would be like referring to a judge as “an honourable” for an entire article.
Secondly, even if this minister pushed through the paperwork, there is no way it’s valid. Both parties have to sign the completed document at the time of the wedding itself, and it typically has to be also signed by witnesses. “Pre-signing” it would indicate it. It’s not a legally valid document.
Ironically, marriage documentation is pretty tight about the consent of both parties and witnesses to prevent women from being married off against their will.
