Best Answer

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.

Do I file for an annulment or divorce I've been married for 25 yrs and recently found out that my husband is still married to his first wife?

yes i would for sure file a divorce against this so called "husband" of yours. if he is still married to another woman, and still interacting with her. get out of there honey, find a new man. As far as I know, you were never legally married. Have him arrested for Bigamy (married to more than one person at a time), and sue him for child support if you have any children by him. GET A LAWYER!!! Bigamy is a felony.
