Re: Was he divoced?
An individual must go to court to obtain a divorce. However, court records from a divorce are sealed.
Therefore, if you go to the county where the individual lived between 1949 and 1956, you may conduct an investigation to determine if a divorce action was commenced. However, you would not be able to read the Judgment of Divorce unless you received an Order from a Judge.
