In Arizona a court would not annul a marriage without proof that the other spouse had been notified, or served with the petition for annulment. While the fact that the husband was married at the time of new marriage may be grounds for an annulment, there must be an action filed to order the annulment.

Probably of an annulment in an 8 year marriage is zero.

Arguably the 8 year marriage was void from the beginning and never occurred since it is illegal to have 2 wives. A divorce a year after the marriage would not necessarily remedy the illegality in the marriage.

If you "married" your current "husband" when he was still married to another woman, your marriage is known as "void ab initio," meaning that you were never really married.
