Talked to an Immigration Attorney

I was told that if he leaves you and marry another, you are no longer responsible for him. It makes sense especially if he leaves the marriage and marry another.

In my husband's country he has to show proof he is married to only one woman. Only one woman's name can be on their family records in the courts and that marriage is the only one the US considers legal. US Consulars are very strict with this in Jordan. If they marry 4 wives here in the US, they are illegal, only one is legal.
