Marriage where there is a husband or wife living, from whom the person marrying has
not been divorced, is prohibited and void under KRS 402.020(1)(b).
So, if you desire to have a valid legal marriage then you would need to remarry after the already-married spouse acquires a divorce.
I hope this has helped and I wish you all the best.
