If a person during the lifetime of a spouse with whom the marriage is in force, enters into a subsequent marriage contract in accordance with s. 765.16, and the parties thereto live together thereafter as a married couple, and such subsequent marriage contract was entered into by one of the parties in good faith, in the full belief that the former spouse was dead, or that the former marriage had been annulled, or dissolved by a divorce, or without knowledge of such former marriage, the parties shall, after the impediment to their marriage has been removed by the death or divorce of the other party to such former marriage, if they continue to live together as a married couple in good faith on the part of one of them, be held to have been legally married from and after the removal of such impediment and any children born during such subsequent marriage shall be considered as the marital children of both parties.
