What is the name of your state? Texas
Once upon a time (over 20 years ago) I was married to a man who ran off with his 13 year old pregnant girlfriend. " Pedophile" wasn't a household word at the time. I went to court to get a divorce but my attorney was in the hospital that day and another attorney (right out of law school) went to court with me. That was it, I never heard anything else about the divorce. I just assumed it was a done deal. (I know, NEVER assume anything) My attorney passed away shortly after I went to court and here it is twenty plus years later and there is NO record of the divorce.
I have never remarried by my ex married his young friend in the same county (that's on record) and divorced her and he got full custody of their two children (that' all on record). Then he married another woman. Same county, filed for all to see.
I have searched and hunted through years worth of zipped files looking for some record of our divorce to no avail. It's my guess it was never filed and slipped through the cracks never to be seen again. Am I still legally married to that man?
If the answer is "yes", you'll love the rest of the story.
Thanks in advance for any reply!
