Could I file bigamy charges against my husband?

Hello,

I married a guy in Georgia, but he is filing for a divorce in Florida. I recently
found out that he was and still is married to another woman, they were married in
Florida. They were married October 2015 and we were married April 2016.

You could report your "husband" to the authorities but whether or not to file charges will be up to the prosecutor's office. However, what you should do at this point is to file for an anullment. Since he wa already mrried at the time of your "marriage", your union was not legally recognized, therefore there is no need for a divorce. An annullment, however, will clear up any legal entaglements created by your "marriage".
