If your husband has remarried without having gotten a divorce from you then under the laws of all states in this country he has violated criminal stautes as to "bigamy" and his marriage to the orher person is invalid. I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about this issue as well as seeking a child support order from the court with respect to your eleven (11) year old child.
If you cannot afford a family law attorney, you might consider consulting with your county district attorney's office, child support division as to the child support issue and see if it will file a petition for such support for you and your daughter.
