I'm running the membership audit for our ward, and I have to members with this warning:

"The spouse is already married."

Anyone know how to resolve this? I assume they are both divorced, and their former spouses have had new marriages recorded without canceling the previous marriage (somehow). I have no way to edit the marriage in LCR, I haven't checked MLS. Do I just click a box saying they no longer have a spouse?

Thanks!

No, if they are divorced you need to get the divorce date and terminate the marriage in MLS and give divorce as the reason. Use the Membership > Records > Terminate Marriage menu option to terminate the marriage.
