Where is Kates ex-husband? Isn't she technically still married to him?

I don't know if their marriage was valid in the first place since she used an assumed name. I am sure marriage laws vary state to state but I am sure that the marriage was unulled (sp?) since it happened under false pretenses and a legal named wasn't used by one of the participants.

Still wouldn't it make sense that he also would have heard about the crash rescue and trial on the news. After all, assumed name or not, to him she was his wife is all i'm saying. I guess its just another thing the writers want us to "forget".

I got you. ;) It would have made sense for him to make an appearance at her trial.

After she drugged him and admitted to being a fugitive, I'd assume good ol' Officer Kevin was a wee bit heartbroken, and maybe didn't want anything to do with Kate.

Unless, of course, he shows up again in a future episode...

If the tables were turned and the husband had a huge cash settlement. Her lawyers would pry half if not all away from him, fraudulent wedding or not.

I think they're divorced. I wouldn't be surprised if they had called him as a witness, but I wasn't surprised not to have seen him either.

I doubt they want us to forget. Hiring a heavyweight character actor like Nathan Fillon for a short arc makes no sense to me.
IMHO if I discovered my wife was living under an assumed name, was a fugitive on a murder beef, drugged me and split. I would be consulting a divorce lawyer.
Probably wouldn't take long for a Judge to grant a divorce of the deceived, drugged, and abandoned police officer.

does the marriage get annulled if ur considered dead? Maybe he married someone else again, a la Castaway (Tom Hanks)?

The marriage, in any state, would not be legally binding
if it is entered into under duress or with any falsification.
Instantly makes it null and void.

I don't know where he is, but I hope we see him again because Nathan Fillion is awesome. I'm thinking with only so many episodes left, that he might not be an important part of the story anymore.

My guess would be that the marriage was never valid to begin with. I was rather hoping to see Nathan in the courtroom though. It doesn't seem unreasonable that he would want to see what happens to her. Then again, he does live in Florida and she's in LA right? Hmm, he could still show up sometime, I'm sure he has lots of questions for her.

Yeah! Bring on the Ex-husband!!! I think he needs to be a part of this story!!

Especially since it's Nathan Fillion and I would LOVELOVELOVE to see him!! :drool: :biggrin:

As does death.

As does death.


If the marriage was valid in the first place ( kate's was not)
being found alive again would make that a whole other stick situation ;)

It would have made sense for him to make an appearance at her trial.

This is what I think too. And it would certainly seem to me like a police officer's testimoney would carry a lot more weight at a trial than a Doctor's would on the subject of her character. But then maybe like everyone else in Kate's life, he still so in love with her that could never bring himself to testify against her. :rolleyes:

maybe he's just moved on with his life.

Can the DA call character witnesses? I think Kate's jilted police officer ex would be a devastating witness. This prosecutor makes Marcia Clark look competent! Why would she deal such a high profile case. Put her mom on the stand and treat her like a hostile witness.
