It is unlikely you will get any money from him so I would be charging on an hourly basis with a substantial retainer before I would begin work.

You need a family law attorney. My suggestion is to contact the Bar Association and ask for lawyer referral. They will give you the names of some attorneys who practice in that area.

I do not think you can sue him. If you are still married to him then get a divorce as if you were with him for a period to time sue for spousal support in your dissolution of marriage.

How? Open up your wallet, that's how. Be prepared to pay a couple hundred dollars per hour that an attorney will need from you to sue him.

If the marriage was bigamous it is legally void and the crime could have a very significant effect on his immigration status.

If he was already married you would have to file a petition for annulment. Get an attorney.
