    Lowtax4eva agrees: Yes, good idea, if discovered by the government of Canada after you re-marry you could face fines and jail time

    By the way it is possible for you to have 5-6 'legal" children :D :D :D

    Statute of Limitation refers to the time limit that legal remedies can be sought. Marriage vows generally are "til death do you part". So, unitl you legally end the marriage, you are still legally married.

    It sounds like this may have been a marriage of convenience to get your wife out of Thailand. Therefore you might be able to get an annulment.

    The SOL is death, so if you or her die, the other is free to marry.

    Once married, you will need to get a divorce.
