She told me yesterday that she has been contacted by another woman her husband recently married. Of course she is in a state of shock, and I am heartbroken for her and don‘t know where to turn for help. He has ruined her financially and ever since he took a job that involved travel about a year ago he has apparently been completely out of control. She has 2 weeks before she has to see him...he is in the reserves doing summer duty and if she chose she could make a call and have him immediately locked up. But of course she is scared of how to survive financially.
But right now I am wondering where she can find someone to talk to who has been through a similar situation?

Hi Keith...are we talking bigamy here or have I misunderstood? If so...he‘s just committed a huge crime and needs to be reported immediately...simple as.

Yes, bigamy. He and my sister have 2 children plus custody of his nephew. He started a job about a year ago and apparently went out of control in many ways. He married another woman who then didn‘t see him for 8 months. When she searched for him she found my sister.
How do I convince my sister she needs to go to the law? She is scared about money. She needs what he sends, even though he has not been reliable. I found her info about pro bono divorce lawyers and am trying to find counseling resources for her.

He committed bigamy. He needs to go to jail. I am sorry to say, but she will have to figure out a way to make it on her own. She cannot stay with this man.
Does she live on base? There may be some benefits for her.

1. Have her make copies of all important paper work, his ID‘s, everything and give to you to keep in a safe place.
2. Drive her yourself to the pro-bono divorce lawyer to find out her rights. Go in with her if she feels comfortable with that. The attorney will give her financial advice and you can all decide together when to contact his supervisor and the law. You need to make sure the timing is right.
3. Tell your sister she and her children have a couch to sleep on and they can rely on you for food until they get on their feet.
If he really did marry two women (make sure you get a copy of the marriage certificate) he needs to go to jail for bigamy but you need to think everything through carefully.
She is lucky to have such a caring brother. Now get her to that divorce attorney appointment.
Good luck,

You get her one bulldog of an attorney and start the proceedings of divorce. Document everything and make sure if your sister has any children, that she gets to proper support from the son of a b!tch.

I am so sorry,
Ok since he is in the service .she should go see one of there lawyer‘s before he does.and this will not coast her a thing and they will look into everything for her.and if they find it to be true they will help her.
and they should also help her with making sure that her and her children are taken care of.
And have her also call one source 1-800-342-9647 they will give the right info to get in touch with the right people to help her,or even someone to just talk to about everything.
She needs to be the first one to get to the lawyers before she does ,because that way they will help her and not him.
let me know if I can be any more help.
I am so sorry she is going threw this.
