Legal Question in Family Law in California
My husband and I got married before his previous marriage (divorce) was final. We've been married for 13 years now. Are we legally married? We have 3 kids.

No. Once the divorce is completed you should be remarried. A review of the facts of your situation may provide other possibilities. You should consult with an attorney regarding the options and how to protect your rights.

Nope. Your are not legally married. You may be a putative spouse, however, but I agree with Mr. Johnson and that you should get married, after making sure the divorce from the prior is final.
