Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado

I signed declaration of common law marriage at motor vehicle which was never filed at court house. We separated but never divorced. I went to marry again and was allowed to remarry because that marriage was never pulled up because it wasnt filed in court house. we moved to California. I moved back and filed for anullment in Colorado which he was also signed as a joint party too. He filed for divorce in California. My common law husband died while I was living in California. California is not a common law state. So I would not be common law married to husband number 2. I would have to remarry him in California. Is there any reason the annulment would not go thru?
