Go to the court house in your county and look it up under your names.

If your wife has divorced you, by a default divorce, it would have to have been filed within the Judicial District in which she is a resident. You can telephone the Court Clerk and ask if there is a filing under your wife's name or you can just go on-line yourself, to the Court Records site and check it out.

You should have been served. You can check the family court records in you area.

If she has filed for divorce, you would have to be served unless she does not know where you are. She could serve you by posting. First place to look to see if she has filed for dissolution is at the Court house in the County in which your wife resides. You may be able to do an online search of the Court house records where you wife lives. If you cannot do an online search, go to the Court house and ask the Family Law clerk to check the files.

The best way is to check with the court in the county where your wife lives to see if any papers have been filed.

Call the court in the county where she lives and she if there has been a case filed. However, if you have not been served with the summons and complaint, it is doubtful that you are divorced.

You should contact the court in the county where you, she or both of you reside and ask them to look and see if anything was filed and, if so, the status of that filing.
