I was separated from my husband 7 years ago but never got divorce, my new boyfriend new that. In December 2004 my boyfriend and I went to Vegas and we got married there we live in California and my exhusband lives in CA too, I file for divorce from my exhusband 2 months later (after I married my biyfriend) and the judgment for divorce came 6 moths later, Now my exhusband knows that I got married before I divorce him and he is treading me to take me to court or do something, since we separated never had a good relation with him.
Any body knows what could happend to me and my new husband if my ex take us to court. Can he put me in jail or get the custody of our kids?

If your first marriage is now legally over and you are in possession of the final divorce decree right now, probably nothing at all. His chance was when you got remarried and werent divorced from him yet, but now theres too many legalities to overcome to do any good so I wouldnt worry about this. If he did ever manage to get this to court, just tell the judge it was an oversight on your part and apologize for it and that it will never happen again and that should take care of that. Bigomy is not that big a deal and the courts have bigger fish to fry then to dig up old graves, so to speak. He can threaten all he wants but it wont do him any good , in fact he could get into bigger trouble over the threats than the bigamy thing, so dont worry about a thing

Why didn't u file for divorce first? Your ex is going to try to get u for bigamy and where u live it is punishable by a fine or jail time. Check your local state laws for amount of fine or length of imprisonment.
