Does anyone know how to search on the internet to look up a marriage certificate. I tried but everything costs money to verify. The reason why I am asking is my DH pays Alimony (lots of it) and we suspect the BM might of gotten married and didn't tell us.. as she would lose out on this money every month. Thanks for the help.

Go to City Hall? It is public records. Anyone can look at them.

Hi AKA..

If it would save you lots of money.. then I would do the payment service and find out for sure. I dont know any other way to research this, unless you have an idea WHAT town they got married in, or got their marriage certificate from.. then you can go in to that town hall and request a copy of that certificate.

I think the pay sites are normally around $25 for a fee.. But make sure the background check that you run DOES include marriages.

What makes you suspect they got married?? I think she would owe him the money back if she did get remarried and didnt tell him!!!

Good Point-What is 25 bucks when we are talking about over 1,200K per month just in Alimony. I just have a weird feeling that she is hidding something and the SS(16) seems like he isn't saying much about Mom lately, which is completely unusual. I normally have to hear MY mom is the best person alive from him on an hourly basis. He is a mama's boy big time. She is very money hungry and I wouldn't put it past her to try and hide this.

Is she someone that would have registered for gifts from her family and his? I would hit some local popular wedding registry sites.. depending on where you live.. Macy's, Target, etc.. you can do searches w/o having to know much info past the brides' name.

I honestly think she would owe you the money back if find that she was married and that she collected alimony..

Just make sure before you buy that the site you are on is going to search all states for marriage licenses that she might have applied for.

You can search some gift registries online at the stores web site. I would the counties in and around where BM lives. If you know where BM's parents live, there may be an annoucement in their local paper. What state are in you? I do this kind of research for a living in MN. Another thought have BF request of copy of son's school records - if she got married, she may have added new hubby as contact for child or she may have changed her name. I have access to a huge pay site and I could try to help that way.
