Yes, you have to get a divorce. Marrying someone while you still are married to someone else is a crime in Colorado (bigamy). We can help you complete all the forms you will need and get through the process as fast as possible on a reasonable flat fee basis if you would like assistance. We offer a free initial consultation if you would like to discuss your situation further. I hope this helps.
