If your marriage was performed according to the laws of the state or country in which you were present, then it will be recognized as valid in the United States unless you have done something to change the status of the marriage, like getting a divorce. There are only two ways of dissolving a marriage in Florida: a simplified dissolution of marriage or a regular dissolution of marriage. For more information about filing for divorce in Florida, see http://www.floridabar.org/tfb/TFBConsum.nsf/48e76203493b82ad852567090070c9b9/50c0b911a9cb28fd85256b2f006c5ba9 [7].
