If I had a civil ceremony in Costa Rica my husband did not disclose his felony his brother was a witness and nothing was ever filed here was it legal and what do I have to do if we separate?

Felons are not prevented from getting married. Brothers and sisters are commonly used as witnesses. I take it that 'here' means the United States. If you are legally married in Costa Rica, you are legally married in the US. You would have to get the marriage annulled or get a divorce to legally get married again.
