What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

I am married and have been for 15 years. Some time after we were already married my wife told me that she was still married to another man!!!! In the 15 years of our marriage she never filed for divorce nor did she recieve any divorce papers. I tried to look it up on public records but they keep asking me to pay for them and I am a single dad of 4 and dont have the money right now. Please if anyone can help what can I do to get out of this marriage?

searches like that, come with a fee. cheapest way, is to get them directly from the court.

Its quite possible that the first husband divorced her sometime in the last 15 years. Its also possible that he is not even living anymore. If he did divorce her it could have taken place literally anywhere, not necessarily in the county where they got married.

One thing you might do is try to hunt down the first husband and simply ask him if he divorced her.

Or...you could end the matter and simply divorce her yourself.

How long after finding out about the other marriage did you stay with her? When did you find out about the other marriage? Most likely you are looking at a DIVORCE and not an annulment.
