Legal Question in Family Law in New York

How do I disslove a bigamist marriage?

After being married for 12 years I found out my husband's divorce from his first wife was not final until Nov 1989. We were married Sept 1989. We have been seperated for three years, since I found out. I dont consider myself legally married but I do have a marriage certificate that states I am married in the eyes of New York State. What do I need to do to disslove this marriage on paper. There are no children or property involved

Re: How do I disslove a bigamist marriage?

If your marriage ceremony took place at a time when your partner was still married to someone else, your marriage is legally null and void. There is an action that can be brought to have a court make that declaration, however, there are some complex issues you should consider.

If you'd like to discuss this matter, please feel free to get in touch, either via phone or e-mail.
