We Are Both US Citizen Married In Jamaica Is It Considered A Legal Marriage In The Us?

I to am wondering the same thing. I live in Delaware and When I went to "register" being married the State Dept. Does not recognize out of the country marriages. ( State Dept being were we went to get copies of our birth certificates). And depends on where you look for answers. I asked this question myself one time and was advised hat to truly be divorced I had to go through Jamaica. I figured why can't I just tear up our marriage certificate and change my name.
