Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Still married or divorced?

My boyfriend got married a few years ago in D.C. or Virginia. After a month, him and his wife realized that it wasn't going to work. They went to get an annulment. They assumed all the paperwork went through until about a year and a half ago when he got papers letting him know that he was still legally married. He got divorce papers and had his wife (ex-wife) resign the paperwork. He has not heard anything else since then. He can not find any record of it on the internet. Is there a way to find out if the divorce went through? Are they still legally married?

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Your boyfriend would have to check with the court where the divorce papers were presumably filed. He can simply call the clerk's office to find out rather than rely on an internet search. Unless a final judgment of divorce was entered, he is legally married.
