Q: My boyfriend has been trying to find out when he was divorced. His ex will not give him any information.
We’ve tried everything on the Internet to try and find it with no luck. She said it was in the mid 90s, but that’s all she’ll say. She lives in Ohio. He tried calling every county he could think of with no luck. What else can we do?
A: I think it's possible based on this description that he was never actually divorced. This is usually something that is pretty easy to check. She would have had to file in a domestic relations court of the county in which she resided. If you have already contacted that county's clerk of courts, and they have no record of a divorce, then I think he may still be married.
