What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My boyfriend recently found out that he is still married, by applying to the sheriff program they needed his history and documentation. He filed for divorce in 1998. He thought it was complete. His Ex/wife said she received something saying they are divorced. She has not been able to find that document. They are in good terms now and I know she does not want to be still married to him. I know he will need to refile. Is there anything special he needs to do since he technically has been married for 12 years. He left her in 1998 and can prove that. They do have a child together and he does pay for child support. I am 99% sure that no alimony will be filed since they have not been together in 10 years.
I will probably do the paperwork myself and just want to know if there is anything special we need to do, especially since we thought this was complete. We will also be doing this in a different county, should we go back to the county were he originally filed. That county does show that it is incomplete and advised him to refile for divorce.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
