I need a YES or NO answer only. I had no idea my divorce to husb #1 was not finalized when marrying husb #2. Husb #1 has passed. Do I still have to file an Annulment from husb #2? I am not in any position to pay for legal services. Just need YES OR NO answer

Invalid Marriage
State laws vary on the subject of bigamous marriages, but a bigamous marriage is not a valid one – even if both parties entered into the marriage in good faith and believe that a previous marriage was successfully dissolved. A court ruling to annul the marriage is generally not necessary because the marriage is legally invalid from its inception.
