Legal Question in Family Law in California

Still married

My husband of 2 years walked out and abandoned myself and our now 3 year old daughter 2 1/2 years ago. I am interested in getting a divorce (we were married in CA). However, he was married once before, and I am not sure that he ever divorced his first wife now. How can I find out? How can I help get a divorce, I cannot afford it, and the WV legal aide will not help me. I do not know where he is for sure, and I do not know his first wife's maiden name. They were married in San Francisco as far as I know. Please help, thank you.

Re: Still married

You can hire a private detective to do a computer search of all the jurisdictions where he lived since the first marriage. If he obtained a divorce and one of those jurisdictions it would show up on the search and you can get a copy of it from the court clerk.
