Legal Question in Family Law in California

canceling a divorce that wasn't legal

I was married to someone else at the time I got divorced, the judge told me I need to cancel the divorce even though it was years ago, I need to know what paperwork I need to file with the court. I have 2 marriages with the same circumstances.
