You should go and see what was and was not done. You say your were "told" but who knows if that is correct. Go to see if your divorce went through. If it did not, see a lawyer to fix this mess.
If you were not divorced, you will need an order of divorce and validating your second marriage nunc pro tunc. Retain counsel
