Marriage license validity?
After 9 years of marriage I realized that my
name is wrong on my marriage license. Does
that mean that marriage is and always has
been invalid? Please help

No, a marriage license will not be invalidated due to a clerical error of this nature. However, if you want to correct the license, you can file for an amendment. Check with the apllicable recorder's office to find out the procedure for doing so.
