If my wife may have gotten a divorce without me knowing, how can I find out?
I am military and stationed in one state and my wife is in another. I got word that she has gotten married again. How can I find out if she has been remarried?

I am so sorry. Your wife would have filed for divorce in the state in which she resides. So you may be able to check on line if she filed the paperwork in the court system in the county in which she lives. Being in the military she would have had to watch about serving you. If you have any friend in the area then you can ask them to go down to the court house to look up the case in their files (they can not review the file unless they are authorized on your behalf - legally). As for checking on her re-marriage that may be harder. I might ask a lawyer for help. Good luck.
