I got married 3 years ago in California. I haven't talked to my wife for about 1-2 years now. She moved to another state.

A: Check at the family courts in every county and state where your wife may have lived during the last 1-2 years. If you don't find a divorce case in any of those counties, then you are likely still married. There is no central database for divorces like there is for marriage certificates.
