How is Sealed to Former Spouse corrected?
Posted: Sat Dec 26, 2009 5:51 pm
I can't get this fixed: A previous clerk some 6 years ago mistakenly added into my record that my wife died but not date was recorded. My record then had the standard "Sealed to prior spouse" line added about 2/3rds way down the page, as with all widows/widowers and divorced members.
But, alas, my wife never died, as far as I know :p , but there has been no way to correct this on my record. We added her details in, the original marriage date etc, and it enters as a second marriage and we can't seem to removed that annotation "Sealed to prior spouse". Neither will MLS allow us to entre the sealing date (from '91) because a note comes up saying 'sealed to prior spouse (or previous??)
Is there anyway to reverse that error and go back to a normal record which has the civil marriage date ( 8 March) and the Sealing date ( 9 March) without that 'sealed to previous spouse' annotation on the record?
Any suggestions are welcomed.
