without any contact you are automatically divorced?

No, I've not heard that one. You might want some legal advice on that. My guess would be no, it's not valid.

It depends on your state laws. You will have to call an attorney or your local courthouse to find out. I still think you have to have divorce papers signed by a judge. It doesn't just happen "automatically". In NC where I got my divorce, you had to be separated one year before you could file for divorce. A stupid law, but none the less, that's the way it is there.

Nope, you have to have signed legal documents. Being separated for that long does NOT make you divorced. Otherwise all married men serving in Iraq would be divorced when they got back.
If you should want to get married again, guess what? The marriage license office won't give you a marriage license until you show legal documentation about your divorce.

That is not true. Until you or he files you are still married. I have heard after years of no contact you get file for a divorce. That is a question for a lawyer.

I would say no, but I would contact a lawyer or the court house. Good luck.

Uh no. I am betting that in ANY state, you would have to pay the fee and file the paperwork to make it legally binding.

That's a funny one. And if you wait another year you're pregnant. You aren't smart enough to be married.
