QUESTION
Do I need to file divorce? Will he be entitled to my pension if I do?
Asked on Apr 06th, 2013 on Divorce - California
More details to this question:
I'm married for several years. I did not have an ideal relationship, but had to sacrifice for the love I have to our 3 children. Until recently, I found out that he was legally married in another country before we got married. First, is our marriage even legal to seek for divorce? Second, is he entitled for half of my pension in the near future that I alone has saved since he doesn't believe in saving?

You are entitled to an annulment which means the marriage never happened which means he gets zero of your pension.

See an attorney, and may well be that he has lost his potential rights to claim part of your pension given the fact that the marriage was bigamous.

I strongly urge you to meet in person with a family law attorney in your area because your situation raises several significantly complex issues.

If your husband was already legally married, then your marriage is void and not legal. This will probably mean that he has no claim over any of your assets, which would be considered your separate property since you were never really married.
