cant locate divorice paper and ex pass away
how do i find out when i was divorice,
Divorce records
We are not experts in divorce, but generally divorce records should be available from the county where the divorce took place.
I am doing this proof now
I had to go to court house where I was divorced at and get my papers.I live with my EX (because I can't work and need help getting around) .,
Since we live together I been denied any benefits because we were married at 1 time.We NEVER remarried. We do not file taxes as a couple or tell others we are a couple.We just share Kids,grandkids and I live with him.We have separate rooms ,watch different things.Have different lives except he is here when I fall and need help up.Can't get out of tub (really do NOT want 1 of girls to deal with that ).But I am being punished by the SSA because I can't live alone and I refuse to be a pain for my grown kids with there own life.
