You will be able to "void" your marriage.

Petition the court.

It would be a VOID marriage actually. It would be petition/summons for declaratory judgment to void the marriage in Wisconsin. It is not something found with fill-in forms. I suggest working with an attorney to do this.

The process is started with the filing of a petition in the local district court.

You will need to hire an attorney to guide you through the process but, yes, you can file for a divorce or annulment based on the grounds he was still married.

Initially see a lawyer. There may be a choice, and making the wrong one could prove costly to you.

You can either hire an attorney or file for divorce or annulment yourself. If he was married at the time you guys got married, then your marriage is null and void.

The validity of a marriage can be challenged (and thus annulled) on a number of basis (e.g. a prior undissolved marriage, lack of capacity, fraud, duress, etc). To annul a marriage, a petition has to be filed with the Court.

You need not bother. If your "husband" is still married to someone else, he can not be married to you. Your marriage is void as a matter of law.

In Washington state, you must file with the court a Petition for a Decree of Invalidity of Marriage, which is the statutory process for obtaining an "annulment".
