I do not know about other states. However, if your case was filed in WA, you can find out in which court it was filed by using this website: http://dw.courts.wa.gov/index.cfm?fa=home.home .
This is a site maintained by the WA Administrative Office of the Courts. The data is supplied by the various WA courts. Use the "name search" feature and search for the names of yourself and your husband. While the information within a court file may be sealed, at the least the names of the parties should be public information. You can check if the other states have a centralized databases of their cases. If your husband uses credit cards or other types of credits, the credit bureaux often show the name of the purported spouse in a person's file. If you want to make sure that you are divorced, you can always file a petition for dissolution of marriage. If your husband does not want the WA court to decide your petition, he would have to disclose where the other divorce petition was filed. |
