I was married by the laws of New York in 1970. The man I married had some trouble with the law and went to jail. After a couple of years he insisted that i not wait for him to come home. We had one child together. I eventually had a relationship with another man. I now have nine additonal children over the thirty years i have been with him. We consider ourselves married. Would love to get married but i don't have any whereabouts of my first husband so i can divorce him. I have not seen or heard from him in about thirty years. I married in NY but now live in MA. What begins to concern me is the age of me and my childrens father as we get older and begin to think about social security and other benefits that may affect me. Can i remarry w/o divorcing after so many years?

You cannot remarry without divorcing. You really need to consult with an attorney and attempt to locate your first husband.

But if you can't find him, you can start a lawsuit and get service by publication.
