Do you have to file an annulment if your spouse committed bigamy?
A person can only be married to one other person at a time. If a person attempts to marry a second spouse while they are legally still married to the first, the second marriage is void as a matter of law. An annullment action pre-supposes that the second marriage was legal, which is incorrect, therefore there is no need to annul it.
