Whether or not you were married you should file a petition for child support in Family Court in your area. You may wish to consult a local divorce attorney first.
if you can prove that he was still married, you can file a criminal complaint for bigamy. That is a crime. I agree with my colleague, you must file a petition for custody and I would also consider filing a petition for full custody. You should consult with a local family and divorce attorney. Many handle both.
