Yes, they can. The divorce papers need to be filed to prevent them from taking anything they want, including any money you have in joint bank accounts.
No, you are not supposed to. People do it allof the time though. YOu do, however, have to tell the person you are dating that you are married until the divorce is final.
Who filed them? Ask that person. They had to be filed in the family, divorce or probate court (whatever it is called in your state) for the county you or the other party or both of you lived in at the time (or for the previous year or so, depending on state law again).
People get married and divorced in different states so she has to know where the papers for the divorce were filed. Then she can go to the recordings office in the court house and see if papers have been filed. If she filed for divorce then she would have had to appear before a judge and have been issued a dissolution of marriage. If her ex filed he would have had to notify her of a proceeding, whether she chose to show up doesnt matter because a judge can grant a divorce that has been petitioned with out the party there. She should bring her marriage certificate if she has it, they may be able to crossreference the number of that with a divorce decree. Divorce records are public information and are filed in the state's vital records department in the state and county where the divorce was granted. Information can be found using only the names of the divorcing parties, but it is much simpler if the date the petition was filed, the county in which it was filed and so forth is available. FYI, it is not necessary for both parties to be present for a divorce to be granted. If the person served does not respond with agreement or contestation, the filing spouse can receive the divorce under the default laws of the state.
It means the decree has been entered and the divorce has been granted.
Yes. You can visit the court and look up names in the index. You should check the index at the court where the action was filed. As you explained your situation on the discussion page, "you have never signed divorce papers". Not signing divorce papers doesn't halt a divorce. Your case may have been dismissed for lack of further action. The divorce may have been granted if you failed to appear or were unable to be notified by mail. A quick check in the court index will reveal the disposition of the case.
