But twenty minutes after they left the courthouse, a woman approached them in the parking lot carrying a folder and asked Adrian one question: \u201cDid you seriously marry her without divorcing me first?\u201d<br \/>\n<span class=\"ellipsis\" id=\"ellipsis-226123498\">...<\/span><span class=\"rmwp-button-wrap\" id=\"rmwp-button-wrap-226123498\" style=\"display: none;\"><button name=\"read more\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"rmwpButtonAction( '226123498', 'READ MORE', 'READ LESS' )\">READ MORE<\/button><\/span><div class=\"rmwp-toggle \" id=\"rmwp-toggle-226123498\" style=\"display: none\"><br \/>\nNadia thought it was some cruel joke until the woman showed her identification, photographs, and a marriage certificate bearing Adrian\u2019s full name.

The attorney explained that her legal position depended on the exact status of Adrian\u2019s earlier marriage and local law, but she should not contact him alone or sign anything he sent.
