@EleGirl -the OP's H is only a bigamist in this case due to the his divorce in another stated not finalizing like he believed it would/was.
He jumped the gun and got married.

I don't believe you can press charges for bigamy only the DA can do that. You can sue him for divorce and cite bigamy as a reason - I believe. Which is already underway isn't it?

So what do you gain from the bigamy other than the divorce? I suppose you could try suing for damages - maybe? If you have any financial damages as a result of his second marriage.?
