anyone else been married to a bigamist?

Hi I am a 47 year old mum of 2 little boys who this year discovered that not only has my husband been having an affair, but he also has a 6 year old child in Liverpool with this woman, concieved when I was 5 months old with my sceond son. Over the past 6 years he has been verbally aggressive at times and has run up several debts secretly on several occasions, no doubt to fund his secret family.

I am a GP so have been able to bail him out with extra locum work etc over the years, but in July commenced divorce proceedings. He however is demanding 50% of the house, does not see why he should pay me any maintenance so I will have to go to CSA at some stage, and is now trying to fleece me for my pension. He currently has the boys 2 nights and 1 weekend day when I am at work.

I have been advised to avoid court by my solicitor, but I wonder if I am now getting good advice and whether I should go to court and fight this person who has spent the last 12 years of our marriage extracting any penny he can from me. Anyone in the same situation?

Him having an affair and a child does not make him a bigamist. A bigamist is a person who marries while married to another.

In terms of outcomes, if you read the "read this first" thread and post those details, someone can help.

Hi Amanda,

I was being sarcastic, although I would argue that although not legally a bigamist, he is in fact a bigamist in the true (moral) sense of the word.

Hi conall. DL is right. He just had an affair is all. And the good news is that you found out and are disposing of this low life. In time you will think like P!nk. So what. C
