If you cohabit with your boyfriend in the manner as husband and wife, then the wife of your boyfriend can sue you and your bf for concubinage. This is notwithstanding the fact that your bf had been separated in fact for 11 long years. The marriage remain valid for life. Yes, the remedy is to seek a declaration of nullity of his marriage. You can refer to the TELL ME ABOUT page of the website www.philattorney.com for discussions regarding annulment.
