I'm very sorry for your situation, but I don't know exactly what you're asking. What can you do legally is file for divorce or separation, but that doesn't seem to fit into your religious beliefs. Perhaps seek guidance from your church and see what options you have. Good luck.

If he chooses to leave and be with someone else, there is nothing you can do to force him to return. You can, however seek out child and spousal support. That can be done through a divorce action, a legal separation, or just an action for custody and support. I understand your religious beliefs, but they have no legal authority, so if he wants to file for divorce, he can and it will be granted. Once it is, then legally, you can remarry if you choose to do so.

Your question is more a question of your religion than the law. CA law would not consider it adultery for you to remarry. You may want to consider your happiness and that is not obeying your religious marriage laws.
