Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

I filed for divorce in Jan 2008, my husband refused to sign any of the papers but last month he decided he wanted the divorce since he was now engaged. I didn't sign the papers (apparently I forgot to sign my portion) and he went to an attorney and filed the paperwork to have a judge sign the divorce decree. The final divorce decree was issued September 30, 2011.

I have two questions:

1) How do I find out when a new marriage license was issued? Because he got remarried September 24, 2011....6 days BEFORE the divorce was final.

2) The paperwork that was filed at the Prothonatary's office states that the attorney that filed the paperwork was the attorney for the plantiff (which would be me since I am the one who initiated the divorce proceedings) and infact the attorney that filed was my ex-husbands attorney. The clerk at the Prothonatary's office told me that I needed to get an attorney since the paperwork was incorrect; making the filing invalid.

If the attorney listed himself as representing the wrong party on the paperwork, does that make the filing invalid?

THANK YOU!!!
