Hi, this is my first post. I welcome your inputs because I am not sure what steps are next.
I married in 1973, separated in 1978, moved to back home Canada from US, had no reason to file for a divorce since I was not interested in getting married again (or so I thought), long story short: I did meet someone in 1980, I then called Ex in USA asked him to file for divorce since the laws in his state were very simple. He called me back and said he took care of it, but I never saw any paperwork. (dumb I know!)
Now I need a copy of the divorce decree, I have contacted him: he swears the divorce happened, but he cannot produce the paperwork (lost), he has since remarried and so was I until my husband passed away 18 mos ago.
I have contacted 8 different counties surrounding his place of residence; they all searched and came back negative for a divorce decree.
Question: Can I go ahead and do a divorce now? Would you recommend a divorce kit and do-it-youself?
How long does a divorce take in Canada?
Or is there another solution I haven't considered?
Thanks so much!
