Re: Am I married?
David is correct. You are still legally married to your first husband. The marriage to the second husband is a nullity. You would have to divorce your first husband and then re-marry the second husband for you to have a valid marriage to the second husband.
I would contact your first husband and ask him for an uncontested divorce. If he consents I can help you with the paperwork.
Mike.
