KSA law wouldn't stop him from getting married again, especially since he is muslim. he can have multiple wives and it is not viewed as adultery as Fred labeled it. If he has gone through proper marriage she is as a legal wife to him as you are/were . you as a US citizen have your rights and if you filed for divorce than that would be the proper way to null your marriage

Not quite true, at least as far as Islam in Indonesia goes.
Whilst multiple marriages are legal here, they are officially discouraged but allowed as Islamic law allows them.
However, over here a husband taking a second wife has to agree terms with his first wife and is not allowed a second marriage without her consent. That's touted as following Islamic rules on the subject and accepted as the norm here. It should be noted Al Qur'an has nothing in it that requires permission from the first wife but that's tempered by the following.
Sharia law is very clear on some matters, that being all wives must be treated equally and no secrets are allowed as far as relationships go, thus taking a second wife without the knowledge of the first could be deemed haram.
That noted, Islamic opinion is of little concern as the OP is operating under US law and he's clearly in violation of that so a US divorce is going to happen if the OP provides the appropriate evidence in court.
Fairness is the issue that would concern me so, assuming the facts are as stated,  his actions are very much unfair and unreasonable.

I believe in US divorce law, that's joint money and will count in any future court settlement, thus you shouldn't lose out as the courts will take removed money into account.
If these are joint accounts, you'd probably have to get a court order to stop him taking more, that or open a new account and shift money over so he can't get it.
However, if you do that, keep clear records and hand them all over to the court.

why you file paper for divorce?

I think you should relax for a bit and be wise. he may/may not got remarried cuz all what you think is not proven. Also, as far as I know some states allow multiple wives as in Utah.

Polygamy is the act or condition of a person marrying another person while still being lawfully married to another spouse. As this is the very definition of bigamy, it is illegal in the United States. The crime is punishable by a fine, imprisonment, or both, according to the law of the individual state and the circumstances of the offense.

Now that he converted to Islam , the Islamic law of the land applies for him. Hence he’ll be allowed to marry up to four ladies including you if you still his wife but he has to treat you all equally Dollar for Dollar inch for inch, if he cannot treat you equally he is not allowed to marry. Regards

Islam allows 4 marriages, that is correct but doesn't allows 2nd marriage in secret.
In addition to that, there is a law of trust and believe and faith which applies on every human and this makes him oblige to inform his previous wife about this marriage.

Dear repliera,
      He didn’t get married secretly because secret marriages are not valid or recognised in Islam.
This guy must have got married according to the law of Islam coz he converted. Marriage in Islam has pillars without which the marriage is NUL AND VOID.


1- The Groom must be a Muslim .
2-He bride must bring her Guardian if she had none she has to appoint one .
3-YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST TWO WITNESSES
4-The groom must pay a Dowry to the Bride.
5-The groom must ask the guardian of the bride to let him marry the bride
And the guardian must agree to the request.

I wont get into a debate with you or define 'secret' marriage here. It is enough that his 1st wife is shouting up there that he is married without her knowledge.
