Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Bigomy & Child Custody

My daughter was married in Georgia 3 yrs ago & just found out her husband was already married & he just got a divorce 6 weeks ago. They have an 18 month old. What does she need to do to dissolve the marriage & make sure I get sole custody of our kid?

Re: Bigomy & Child Custody

You're the grandmother so you don't get sole custody.

Since there is a child, she cannot do an annulment. She does need a lawyer who can assist her with a divorce. Custody is not decided based on bigamy but rather on the best interests of the child. Since bigamy is a crime, that certainly may affect custody.
