QUESTION: I just learned that my marriage that took place 8 years ago was not real since my husband was not yet divorced from his previous wife. I would like to file for divorce. How long will it take before a divorce will be finished and how much does it really cost for a divorce?
MY RESPONSE: You will need to interview experienced Family Law Attorneys to determine how much they charge for their services. If your husband's former marriage hadn't been dissolved when you married him, your marriage to him is at least voidable, if not void, so you should likely file for both a dissolution of the marriage and nullity of the marriage - so that if you don't get the annulment (i.e., if you are unable to prove that he is still married to his former wife), you can get your marriage dissolved. It will take at least six months from the time your husband is served with your divorce/annulment case, and likely substantially longer, to dissolve or annul your marriage, so you shouldn't delay getting started.
