Legal Question in Family Law in California

married or not? divorced or not? how do i know?

how can i find out if someone is married or not? my girlfriend is in love with a man who i suspect is still legally married (although living apart) to another woman.

can someone advise how to find out if there is a record of marriage anywhere in the us for him?

if there is, would there automatically be a record of divorce attached to that record of marriage? or would i need to separately try to find out if there has been a divorce filed anywhere in the us?

please advise kindly. i'm worried for her. she's in love and not seeing things clearly. i hope to God i'm wrong but don't want to bank her happiness on my ''hope'' alone!

please advise me if you have any ideas at all how i can go about finding this info.

blessings for your help.

Check every possible place he could have gotten married (not necessarily limited to USA) and then check every possible place he could have gotten divorced.
