How can I find out if I'm still married?

[clockworks]

When we split 25 years ago, I moved 300 miles away. No contact with her for over 5 years, then she started divorce proceedings. I remember signing something agreeing to it, but don't remember getting anything more. No kids, no financial settlement, no arguments. We both kept what we owned.

What's the easiest way to find out if the divorce actually went through?

I may possibly be considering getting married again....

Get married again and see if you get arrested?

Assuming you don't know anything more than you've posted (ideally you'd have dates, name of court etc), then you need to fill in form D440 and specify a 10-year period. The Central Family court will then do a search of that period and let you knoe. Be warned, it's (a) £65 per 10 year period searched (b) a slow process.

Hope this helps

See if the ex has remarried - if so then you're golden.

You've reached around with a couple of assumptions there - cuckolding and special showers.

Ask her, they know everything.

That's just given me an excellent idea for a sitcom with two bigamists, married to each other, sharing a cell.

Isn't there a period of X years where the marriage is deemed no more if you haven't had any contact? It will shock you to learn I'm not a divorce lawyer.

Why she’d do that is the bigger mystery.

'may' ... 'possibly' ... 'considering'... Hardly sounds like you've been struck by Cupid's arrow. Is it for tax reasons?

Let her know you've won a million.

well done OP I saw the title of this thread and just had to click to see WTF it was all about. I've not been disappointed. Please keep us all informed.

If you hear constant nagging; you're still married.

No contact for 5 years is one of the grounds for divorce, but you still need to do the court docs.

Put all the cushions in your house in cuboard. If they all reappear or you suddlenly get a bunch of new ones, then you're still married.
