More details to this question:
My husband was married in New Orleans and he never got a divorce. He never told me about this and we got married in Florida. Do I need to apply for a divorce or annulment in order to change my legal documents to my maiden name?
1 ANSWER
If your husband was legally married to someone else when he married you, your marriage may not be valid. To have the status of the marriage legally determined by the court, you should seek an annulment. You could request the name change as part of that proceeding or request a name change outside of that proceeding if you do not file for an annulment.
