Yes, you need to get divorced. In theory, depending on the issues the marriage could be declared invalid if you can show it was entered into under fraud. However, the issues would all be the same, so I don't know what you would have to gain.

It is possible that you could seek an annulment, but you do need to doe something to get rid of the marriage. If I were you, I would proceed with the divorce.

I would suggest that you do file for divorce and use the name under which the marriage is in AND use the aka name as well.
