Query to find if a person is married

[Calden]

Maybe a silly question...
Is it possible to easily find if someone is still married or if they have divorced?

[Amethyst]

Not a silly question - though easy answer is go with your gut feeling ....


However divorce records are public record

If you do not know the case number

If you know which court issued the decree absolute or final order, you can ask them to search their records. It costs £45 to search a 10 year period.

Give the court the date you think the case happened. The court will search 5 years of records either side of that date.

If you cannot give them a date, the court will search the last 10 years of records.

Send an email or letter to the court with your name and address, and how you want to pay.
