Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

legal marriage?

I recently found out that my husband's divorce was not final when we were married. It was finalized 2 weeks after we were married. Is our marriage legal, or is it nullified because he was technically married at the time? Was our marriage deemed legal on the date his divorce was finalized? We have been married for 16yrs. What ramifications does this have for our children?

Legally, your marriage is void. Should you desire, bigamy is ground for an annulment. However, it has been long enough that there may be a common law marriage.
