Re: divorce
Even in a divorced based on 2 years separation you are supposed to be served with the following:
Divorce Complaint
Affidavit of Separation
Counter Affidavit of Separation
Notice of intention to request entry of divorce
Or Waiver of Notice of intention to request
entry of divorce
If you never got them then I'd be suspicious of his claim. He lives in the same county as you do you can check with the prothonotary at the county courthouse to see what has been filed. You can do this over the phone.
If I recall correctly your county requires a 236 Notice of Judgment to be sent to you if a divorce is granted.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
