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.
