Your action can only be against your husband and against the woman. Even if they have entered into physical relationship still it is husband who would be prosecuted for bigamy and not her as she does not have a living spouse. By extending our imaginations and correlating it with the facts, your only possible option could by jointly against husband and lady for having defamed you and your daughters by their joint action which has caused a great impact on the reputation and mind of you and your daughters.
You may seek appropriate action against your husband under the D.V.A. and may seek compensation / damages for yourself and your children.
