You are correct, since your husband was legallymarried at the time of your marriage, then your union was not legal. Accrdingly, there is nothing to dissolve via a divorce. However, that having been said, an annulment would be a good idea as it will clarify your legal status. At this point, you would be well advised to consult directly with a local divorce attorney as they can best advise you about the annulment process regarding your particular circumstances.
