If you know where your husband was living when he would have gotten a divorce, you could go or could have someone go to the Family Law court at that location and look in the court's computer for your husband's name to see if a dissolution of marriage was filed. Once you have obtained the case number from the court's computer, you can ask the court clerk for the file. You can't remove the file from the court, but can review it and ask the court clerk to photocopy pages of the case file that you want.
