In FL, you can put an ad in the paper to divorce someone and if they live in another state, they would never know. I haven't seen my ex in over 6 years. What if he posted an ad and I don't know that I am divorced? He doesn't know where I live. He lives in CA. How do I find out if he proceeded with a divorce or not?

the ad requiremtn also works in CA
basically since you cannot located your spouse to have him served
( remmeber it's called dissolution of marriage and basically you are sueing him for the right to dissolve the marriage ), the ad in the paper saying they you are serving legal notice of intent to disolve your marriage, will suffice and show the courts ( both in FL and CA ) that you reasonably tried to serve summons to your soon to be EX. Once that has been run ( typicaly up to 6 weeks ) the case wil proceed as the court will be satified that he was givn fair and legal notice to appear. You will win by default ( as basically he has the right to contest a divorce only if married more than 5 years and or with children, and any assest earned during the marriage ), and the judgement ( in your favor since no one contested ) will be granted and you are free to divorce.
Keep in mind he may have done the same. The trouble is trying to locate the county where the dissolution judgement was filed, if you know it, if not there is no Ca search engine of records. You can however go to USSearch.com and check there ( you'll need his SS to pull a search ) and you might get any divorce records or at the least his last known record of living address, from there you can try that countys record's office ( try the recorders office or the clerk of the family law court where records are kept for divorces ).

That's crazy. Call the records department in FL and explain your situation. Hopefully, they'll be able to give you some answers.
