    Default Finding Divorce Decree

    Married to a USA citizen but overstayed before getting married. Going to file paperwork to change status but having trouble finding wife`s divorce decree. She has the marriage liscence from previous but as been everywhere to try and find the divorce decree and cannot find nothing due to not knowing where her ex is anymore or where he filled it. Are we beating a dead horse as we have tried everywhere with phone calls and driving around most counties without any luck or can we file without the decree? We have tried to locate her ex husband but cannot find him.

    Is she actually legally divorced?

    She should know where the divorce was finalized...

    So her husband told her at some point, "I filed a divorce," nothing was ever served on her, she never went to court, she never received a judgment of divorce, and she has no idea even of the state in which a divorce might have been filed, let alone a county? There's a very good chance that she's still married to her first husband.

    Depending upon her state, there may be a statewide registry of divorces maintained by the department of vital statistics that she can check for her name.
