How do you find out if you're divorced?

Stupid question I know, but we've been together for 20 years and are thinking about getting married next year, but we don't know if my partner is actually divorced!:o

The first part of the divorce definitely went through, but how do we find out if the Decree Absolute went through?
Was a 40 a day smoker for 20 years.
Decided to give up, and haven't had a fag for 12 years.
Halfway through losing six stone.

Looking forward to early retirement.

    I'm sure that both parties of the divorce should have had a decree abs. sent to them....May be get in touch with local court who was dealing with the divorce at the time if you are unsure.
  • Don't think we got one. Okay, time to track down the court.

    I have a similar problem, I assumed we were divorced -I know he started proceedings and I let him get on with it but the court he would have used says they have no record so I need to pay sixty pounds to the central registry to find out.
