Since your husband was already married at the time of your marriage, then it is null and void in the eyes of the law. In other words, it is as if it never happened. At this point, you need not divorce as there is nothing to legally end. However, you may want to file for an annulment to clear up any legal complications that this "marriage" may have caused. At this point, you really should consult directly with a local divorce attorney as they can best advise you further under specific state law.
