Absolutely not. You can only be legally married to one person in the United States. You must obtain a divorce before you can remarry. The California marriage is invalid and she may face criminal charges if the matter is pursued by the "groom" especially if there was any ulterior motive.

If your husband was married in CA when he married you in Tijuana are you married?

It does not matter where a marriage happens. If a person goes though a marriage ceremony with someone when they are already legally married to someone else, then the second marriage ceremony is not legally valid and you are not married. The person who is already married is also committing a crime. So the answer is - No you are not married. You should also be aware that his first wife is his legal heir at law if he should die and leave any estate. You have no rights in that regard and you have no husband.

You would like to marry in mo and have a formal wedding in ca or nv is that legal advice please thanks?

If MO granted you the license you could not use it to get legally married in any other state other than MO. Your marriage would only be "legal" in the state which grants the marriage license. HOWEVER - you could get legally married in MO -BUT- have ceremonial church services, and repeat your religious vows in any other state.... but, by then you would already be considered legally married.
