Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Bigamy?

My husband and I were married 9 years ago. He recently sought the help of an attorney for emancipation of his 21 year old daughter. When the attorney went to find the original divorce decree he couldn't find one on record with the courts. He contacted the original divorce attorney who realized the final paperwork had never been filed. Is he still married to his first wife in the eyes of the law? Are we married? Is this bigamy? HELP!

Re: Bigamy?

Wow! There are a number of questions that need to be asked before the question can be answered. That aside, what does the original attorney suggest be done to correct the error? My guess is that if he and the attorney for the (ex) wife discussed this with the judge, a solution could be found. Good lcuk>
