Re: bigamy

If a valid marriage has not yet been disolved by a decree of dissolution of marriage granted by a court of competent jurisdiction then the "new" marriage entered into should be void or invalid. Should you have what appears to be evidence of a crime, I would suggest that you contact the county prosecutor in the appropriate jurisdiction for their review.
