If you don't know, chances are it was not. If you want to be sure, go down to the office of the Clerk of the Court in the county the divorce was filed in. Take something with the case number on it with you, preferably something that was filed in the case when it was last active. There will be a window where you can request to see court files. Ask for help there. If there is a final judgment of dissolution in there, the divorce is final. If not, it's not.
