How do you prevent bigamy?

Answer 1

A marriage to a bigamist is null and void since a person can only be legally married to one person at a time in the Western World. Once a person is legally married, any subsequent marriage is invalid unless the prior marriage was dissolved by a legal divorce decree.

No legal marriage was created in the first place so there is nothing to "dissolve". However, you should consult with an attorney to determine what steps you need to take to separate yourself from the bigamist so that person does not try to take any advantages by posing as your spouse. You should also file a police report.

Answer 2

If you are that person's first spouse you file for divorce in your local family court. If he/she was already married when he/she married you your marriage was not valid. However, in that case you should consult with an attorney, or an assistant at your local district attorney's office, to determine if you need to take any legal steps to extricate him/her from your life. He/she should be reported to the police.

Answer 4

A person commits bigamy when they knowingly marry while still married to another person. Bigamy is a criminal offense in most Western countries. You should begin by filing a police report as soon as you become aware of the bigamy.
