Colorado Springs, CO asked in Divorce for Colorado

Q: is a divorce valid with intestate property? I cannot find copy of my divorce Anywhere and suspect it was never filed.

My name is on the deed and mortgage papers; the home is in Hawaii. I thought we had a divorce but I nor the Public representative cannot find the divorce decree or certificate. If the divorce papers cannot be found, is the divorce still valid?

A: It sounds like you are looking for a will - not a dissolution decree. If there is a dissolution decree, it will be filed with the court that issued it as an official record.
