is my divorce legal?????????

[military_brat]

my ex-husband filed for divorce, and in doing so he told the judge presiding over the case, that i lived in iowa. He knew i was residing in Illinois and was a resident of Illinois. I was never served any papers, but found out that he publicsized it in Iowa papers, because thats where he had told the judge i lived. So is my divorce still legal?

Well, if the judge signed the decree then yes it is -- why are you asking though -- are you wanting to contest it? If you want to contest you MAY be able to claim fraud on the court by him but I don't see why you would want to contest it now -- if you are wanting to know if you can get on with your life -- by all means you are no loger a married woman..........
