u need to appoint a lawyer and he would guide you the legal steps to be taken to get the decree of divorce. a divorce by notary pulic is not valid and till u dont get the decree u a married woman and have all the rights of a married woman and your husband's marriage to the other woman is void in the eyes of law.

In a family court it is not necessary to appoint a lawyer and you can get a decree of divorce from the family court. you may move an application for an ex-party decree in your favour if the opposite party is not remianing present before the court.

You may appear personally, make your statement and pursue your divorce. If you can afford to engage a lawyer, that may help.
