If my husband’s divorce decree stated he wouldn’t remarry before 6 months after the divorce but we were married after 4, is our marriage valid?

My husband and his ex-wife separated 3 years ago and got divorced about 1 1/2 years later. He is in the military and got a divorce from his home state. We got married 11 months ago in our current state of residence where we live; his divorce decree was officially stamped 15 months ago. He was awarded a small amount of property they purchased while being married that he has continued to pay on, as well as paying his court mandated alimony. Does this mean he is still married to her? And does she now have rights to that property?
