What is the name of your state? California

My soon to be ex-husband and I were together for 18 years, married for 7, with no kids. We are going through a divorce after he sprung on me that he met someone else. He met this girl online and is a resident of Mexico. The divorce isn't final until September 21, 2005. Well, in Febuary of this year he married her in Mexico. And we're still married! Before I found out he was married to someone else, I decided that I would not contest the divorce and not take anything from him. We'd go our separate ways. Now, after I found out that he got married..and she's pregnant...I want half! Why should she get to enjoy the things we had while we were together? Do I have any rights? Can I press charges? Is the marriage legal eventhough he got married in Mexico? Can I go back and contest the divorce?

Am I too late? Help!

Yeah... it is bigamy... he can get in tons of troubles with law if he is married to you and her same time.
