How do you get a divorce in a bigamous marriage?

The second marriage is in fact not a marriage as he did not have the legal capacity to wed. The first marriage would be dissolved through a divorce.

I don't know where to begin.

The best way to begin is to consult immediately with a local divorce attorney. With a husband working overseas there can be complications both in terms of support payments and division of pension/401k/IRA accounts.

What can I do to contest the divorce and attempt to get her to reconcile and save the marriage?

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
If she doesn't want to reconcile, you cannot reconcile. Won't happen, don't' try. As for the divorce, there is only one type of divorce. There may be different grounds, but they only matter on the margin. For example, if she has been committing adultery, you might be entitled to a little more than half the property, but probably not a lot more. In any event, assuming she just doesn't want to be married to you, you are each entitled to half of the community property and half of the community debt.
