Legal Question in Family Law in California
Help
I just found out moments ago that the man I have been married to for one year is still married to his previous wife.
What in God's name am I to do......obviously seek a lawyer but
I won't sleep until I know what is
happening to me.....Thank you for any help you might give me.

You should ask for annulment.

Nothing is going to happen to you. In fact you're what we call a putative (innocent) spouse. Your husband needs to terminate his marriage, then remarry you. It's really that simple. Your current marriage is void. If you have financial issues with him, you'll probably win. For now, your marriage is void. If you have no future plans with your current spouse, you should file a petition to annul your marriage.
