Without a dissloution of marriage signed by the judge, there is no divorce.

Re: Bigamy

Since your "husband" never filed his papers and since a divorce was never ordered by a judge, you are not married to your "husband." Your "marriage" is not legit. Though it isn't strictly required, you may want to consider filing for an annulment if you are now choosing to remain unmarried (contact me and I can explain why), or you'll want to have your husband get a divorce, then you'll have to re-marry him if you want to remain with him.
