Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
legality of marriage
I am not 100% sure my ex got a legal divorce before we married. We have now been sepereated for more than 2 yrs. How do I find out if I need a divorce, or what should I do? I am not working & have no funds of my own to pay a lawyer at this time.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
You need to check the public records in the county in which your ex lived. All final judgments in divorces would be in the public records of that county. Some counties may allow you to search online but it may not be complete.
