Yes. Since he was married at the time of your marriage, he did not have the capacity to marry and your marriage is void and can be annulled.

If your husband is still "legally married to his first wife", then "you may not be legally married to him in the first place".

Yes, you can based on fraud. However, I also believe that your marriage is null and void as if it never occurred if he was already married. It sounds like he is guilty of bigamy.

Yes, if your spouse is still married to someone else, you can get an annulment. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss this process in greater detail.

Yes, you can get an annulment, as a matter of fact, your current marriage is not valid and is null and void. However, you need to have a judge declare it that way, with an annulment action. You should consult with an attorney.

That is the prime reason to seek an annulment. Consult with a local attorney about this.

Most probably yes. Actually, because he was married at the time he could not legally marry you which would make the marriage void.

Strictly speaking, you don't really need an annulment because your current marriage is invalid. Colorado no longer has a proceeding for annulment but you can obtain a Declaration of Invalidity based on the fact that he was still married to someone else.
