Re: divorce search
Google search the county in NY where your husband (ex) resides and pull up the County Clerk (Family Law Divisin) or whatever it is called and search his name and/or your name.
If that don't work call them.

Maybe. Many Florida counties have public records located online. You can locate the public records of the county in which your husband or former husband resides by searching on Google or some other search engine. Then search under your name or his to see if any court actions have been filed. If so, look at the docket (if it is online) to determine the status of the case.
