What happens if one of the sister wives wants to add another husband to the mix?

If one of the Sister Wives divorced Kody, they could marry another man. (This happened with Robyn, who divorced her previous husband and later married Kody) They could not marry anyone while still being married to Kody. Their church (the Apostolic United Brethren) teaches that marriage is only between one man and one or more women. Women cannot be married to multiple men at one time.
