1. You and your children have full rights on property as a legal wife or children have.
2- To prove bigamy you will have to collect marriage proofs as photographs, video, Municipality record,Enrollment in voter list, Ration card etc with other oral evidences.
3-If you apply for divorce you can get permanent maintenance in terms of money but not property.
4- Dv Act is the best remedy for you and your children to save your property right and to get monitory relief.
5- he can be imprisoned if found guilty of bigamy and for disobedience of any order passed in DV Act.
