COLUMBUS - A Phenix City, Ala. man has been charged with felony forgery after signing his wife's name on a divorce document. <br>
<br>
Gregory Kennedy filed a divorce decree in April with his signature and a forged signature of his wife, Tammy Kennedy. He remarried in June without her knowledge. <br>
<br>
Witnesses say the divorce document was notarized by a friend of his new wife at a Columbus jewelry store. Police are not sure if the second wife was aware of the forgery. <br>
<br>
Tammy Kennedy, 39, learned in July from a friend that she ``didn't have to worry about'' her estranged husband anymore because he had remarried and would likely be busy with his new life. <br>
<br>
She thought that was impossible. She couldn't remember going through divorce proceedings with her husband or signing divorce papers. <br>
<br>
``I mean how can you have another wedding when you're not even divorced yet?'' Tammy Kennedy said. <br>
<br>
Gregory Kennedy was released from the Muscogee County jail on a $1,500 bond last week.
