Q: My husband married another woman and we are still married, what is my rights.
A: Under Louisiana law, your husband could not marry another person if you and he are still married. The "new marriage" would be an absolute nullity as if it never existed. The "new wife" may have a cause of action against your husband if she in good faith believed she was married, but this would not affect any rights you would have against your husband. It is possible that you may be divorced and not realize it. You may wish to check with the courthouse in the Parish/county where you live and also in the parish/county where your husband lives to make sure. Give me a call and I'll be happy to discuss with your further.
