How can I find out if I am divorced
My finace has not seen his wife in over 5 years. He was over seas when she skipped town. He has no idea where she is how can he file for a divorce or can he find out if she already filed?

Re: How can I find out if I am divorced
Check the circuit court in the county in which she last lived or the county in which they lived together to see if she ever filed and was granted a divorce. If not, he can still file for divorce, but he will have to go through more procedures just to make sure that she has proper notice that there is a Bill of Complaint for divorce pending in court. This may involve publishing a notice in a local newspaper. If you don't know how to locate her you can still get a divorce but you may need a lawyer to make sure the divorce provided her with constitutional notice.
I hope this helps. Please call me at 703-968-3974 if you have further questions.
