What is the name of your state? Georgia

My husband's ex-wife and her current husband say they are legally separated. Is this public knowledge and can we get a copy from the court house?

History: They miraculously separated prior to my husband serving modification papers (he found out in her response) because her husband is an ex-con who was charged with cruelty to children. He believes that they "separated" due to this modification and will reunite when it is over. He is trying to catch them in a lie.

Thanks.

It is up to the ex-wife to prove the separation; not the other way around.

You can go look through the courthouse records but I doubt that any judge with half a brain will be impressed on what the ex-wife has done.

That is not a very logical strategy if so. Because if they reunite your husband can simply refile his modification, based on a "change of circumstance".

Maybe she realized that she had made a mistake?

You can hire a PI to try to prove that the guy is still living there. If so, the "seperation" is irrelevant to ythe custody issue, as this guy IS still "around" the kids.

The actual DETAILS of the new hubby's crime will play a HUGE part in how the court will view this man being around the children. Have you gotten that information yet?
