Best Answer

In whatever court has jurisdiction, probably where you both live. Or where you live, if you are apart.

However, has she been arrested, charged and convicted of bigamy? For it is a crime. If she has not, you are unlikely to win a civil judgment against her.

Consult with an attorney on this one. Such things involving marriage can be very complicated. The more so if there is more than two people involved.

How are the laws in Las Vegas different from Utah that will make life easier for the Browns of 'Sister Wives'?

In Nevada, so long as each of the wives maintains a separate residence, it is unlikely that the state can try Kody Brown on charges of bigamy. The Nevada bigamy laws are less defined than in Utah, and it is possible that since Kody is only legally married to one wife that he cannot be tried for bigamy. In Nevada, Bigamy is a Class D felony, punishable by 4 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. In Utah, the bigamy law states "A person is guilty of bigamy when, knowing he has a husband or wife or knowing the other person has a husband or wife, the person purports to marry another person or cohabits with another person." This covers the religious but not legally recognized marriage ceremonies that Kody participated in with his 3 other wives. Bigamy in Utah is a 3rd degree felony, punishable by 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
