If you have discovered that you have never been legally divorced and you were remarried several weeks ago, I suggest that you immediately consult with a family law attorney to discuss what your legal options are with respect to the matter that you have written about. Potentially the court could order the marriage dissolved "nunc pro tunc" to a day before you were remarried.
