Your current marriage is probably void. You can probably have it annulled if you want. Your husband has committed the crime of bigamy based on what you have stated as it is illegal to be married to more than one person in Florida. He needs to resolve the first marriage and complete the divorce and then he can get remarried to you if you desire to.
