My husband is a Bigamist--Help

[strgblkwmn]

On 12/26/97, my husband and I were married, on 3/1/00, we were totally living apart. In March of 1999 he married someone else without first obtaining a divorce from me. If I'm not mistaken in California, this is called bigamy. I have called the police, who told me to call the DA, who told me to call the police. As you can see, all I've gotten is the runaround. I was told that before the police or DA can do anything I would have to prove that he remarried. Seeing as I don't know his wife's maiden name or the county they were married in, I can't prove anything. I guess you wonder how I know he remarried? He told me, his other wife told me, his mother and also his Pastor told me. Of course this was after I had already found out. I need to know where do I stand legally and what do I have to do to get some help to see that justice is brought to this man, who seems to think he has gotten away with something.

There is also a possibility that we aren't the only two. HELP!!!

Please Help-Desperate in Calif

My response:

. . . and the reason you're not divorcing him is because?

. . . and the reason you're not letting a Family Law judge "take care of him" is because?

I have been trying to get a divorce since May 1998. He threw the first set of papers away, the second set he refused to sign and after that he disappeared (of course that's when he remarried), I was at a loss on what to do next. I have already contacted my lawyer, letting her know of his whereabouts. All that said, I still need to know what my legal recourse is.
