Some questions about the Islamic rules of divorce and remarriage

My fiance told me I am able to marry Islamically even if I don’t have an official divorce because my previous marriage was not through Islam. I do not believe this to be correct so I did study and the only information I was able to find so far was about a woman’s waiting period after her divorce. My time away from my husband has been much longer than the required waiting time, but I think because it was a LEGAL marriage, I still need to obtain a LEGAL divorce before I am married again through Islam, is this correct or was he correct?

I want to remarry, but not sure if my divorce is legal?

Assalamu alaikom!

I was divorced last year 2006 with my ex-husband but it was also by said/saying in front of my father, grand father and the front of people that witness us.
