Why Is Bigamy A Crime?
Bigamy is a crime under the law of every state in the United States, with the exception of Utah, and then it is only legal if all of the parties to the marriage reside in the state of Utah. If any party to the marriage moves out of the state of Utah and becomes a resident of another state, then they must follow the laws of the state into which they move and become a legal resident. A person can only have one legal residency. In that situation, if any of the spouses to that marriage moved to Wiscosnin and became a legal resident of the state of Wisconsin, then the laws of Wisconsin would apply to the marital arrangement. If you are in that type of situation, then you should consult with a family law attorney regarding the legalities of family and child support. If you are accused of bigamy, then please contact the attorneys at Van Wagner & Wood for a free consultation regarding your situation.
