Question by Wes: Is a Tennessee Marriage License restricted to the county in which it is obtained?
I am about to get married (in Tennessee) and need to get a marriage license. I have heard that there have been problems getting a license in one county and actually getting married in another county. Is this true? Or is it a state license that is valid throughout the state over its 30 day validity period. I live in Knox County and will be getting married in Williamson County next week. I won’t be there until Friday, so it’s quite inconvenient if I must obtain the document there. Any (quick!) help is appreciated.
If you’re wondering why I’m asking the Intertubes instead of calling the county clerk’s office, then you have obviously never tried to get anyone down there who knows anything to answer the phone or return any messages.
Before being joined in marriage, the parties shall present to the minister or officer a license under the hand of a county clerk in this state, directed to such minister or officer, authorizing the solemnization of a marriage between the parties. Such license shall be valid for thirty (30) days from its issuance by the clerk.
The county clerk issuing a marriage license is hereby authorized to record and certify any license used to solemnize a marriage that is properly signed by the officiant when such license is returned to the issuing county clerk. The issuing county clerk shall forward the record to the office of vital records to be filed and registered with such office. If a license issued by a county clerk in Tennessee is used to solemnize a marriage outside Tennessee, such marriage and parties, their property and their children shall have the same status as if the marriage were solemnized in this state. TN § 36-3-103: (a), (c)(1)

Question by Lori T: How do i go about getting a copy of our wards marriage license from the county office?
Hi, I am a case manager for a court appointed Guardian and she sends me questions to resolve daily and I ask many of them here. So who do i speak to to get a copy of someones marriage license and what legal docs do i need and so on.
The county office will be in Manatee or Desoto county Florida. Thanks in advance if U know the procedure! L:)
I am lucky to have a job- I’m working for a guardian in Florida via a virtual office- computer-scanned docs-google case noting, on line file folders text messaging an so on.

There are no jobs for me here in rural Michigan at this time. No social service jobs are available, also the starting pay at almost every job is abour 8.50 an hour. I did work at a Homeless shelter earning that ( 8.50 an hour, how humiliating!) For me,There is no ‘training’ I am working alone here and glad I got out of the very stressful shelter work.

I worked with an FSSA contract in my own office in Indiana a year and a half ago ( a GREAT job). All this Guardianship work is new ground for me.

I search for the right answer all the time here and if it doesn’t appear I do my own research -Thanks for your commment. L:)

Question by MishMash [I am not one of your fans]: Is there a way to find California divorce records from the late 1800s (Stanislaus County)?
I am most positive that I have ancestors that divorced around1875 in Stanislaus County, California. They were married to each other in 1866 and by 1875 they were both remarried to other people. I can find transcribed records of the marriages, but not of they’re divorce.
