Re: marriage legal or not?
You have a complicated mess to sort out. Since bigamy is still a felony in South Carolina, it is very important that these issues be handled in the correct way. Before I would give you any specific advice, I would want to get a good bit more information from you, and we would then discuss divorce vs. an action to declare the marriage void.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
