Divorce is a must  before  second marraige is contracted . However, you may  remain in live-in relationship with your prospective second till you get divorce from your first wife. The case of  begamy can be avoided in this way and at the same time it will instigage your first wife for divorce early

Agree with the Above . 

and make sure that guy doesnt have kids with the second lady otherwise he will be charged with adultry

Does it amount to an offence? Living together is not an offence. It cannot be an offence, a three judge bench of Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, Deepak Verma and B S Chuhan observed. The court said even Lord Krishna and Radha lived together according to mythology. So living together  perhaps is possible. But you are supposed to maintain your existing wife too to evade any maintenance claim. Since you must have divorce  before  you marry your live-in-partner, let your wife file divorce petitoin  and you just  create circumstances that motivate your  wife to file divorce petition.
