you can call the courthouse that would have had jurisdiction over the divorce (typvically the one in the county where your husband's "ex" lived). In most states, divorce records are public record. A clerk of the court should be able to give you the necessary information. Or you cn go to the local courthouse web access page (if there is one). If so, it will allow you to search public court records for case. If your hudband's divorce was finalized, the website will indicate that the case is closed. You can also contact the vital statics office in the state where you think the divorce was filed; it should ne able to tell you if one was granted. Finally, there are services that you can hire to check on this for you. If, you discover that no divorce was in fact filed and finalized, then your marriage is null and void. This means that in the eyes of the law it is as though it never took place. Accordingly, your "husband" will have to obtain a divorce from his wife and re-marry you. At this point, you should consult directly with a family law attorney; they can best further advise you.
