Is there way to check marital status on line without using a pay service?

You might find something by performing a search on FamilySearch.org --- depends on how long ago we're talking. I've found it very helpful in trying to reconstruct past marital documentation I'd lost in a fire for the purpose of obtaining copies to submit for a couple of pensions.

Yes, it is very simple to access the public records.

I've found that a quick glance at my left hand is easiest.

On the contrary my dear sir, my wife's 20 something niece wears a Wedding Ring to ward off would be predators and has reduced the number of daily "being hit on's", and yes she's hot :yikes
So a ring in some cases is a Decoy !!!

Not always so.......The ring invites many married dudes' advances thinking another married person will keep things hush-hush.

It's amazing what you can find out about someone online these days down to what blood type you have...

County Recorders office (or online). Should be an easy lookup.

Just look at his eyes and facial expression.

If he has that whipped and defeated look then he is married :p

If he looks happy he is not

Oh he has that look alright but I've been told they're not legally married.
Need to know before going to court.

Yes, but was informed that's no absolute indicator.

Private ownership of a business; Bob and Mary Bitchen, could allow them to invoke the "married testimony clause", but if it's an LLC, corp., or any "self standing legally organized business entity" (it's own tax ID number), they are all sued by name and cross examined individually as officers of the business entity .

The state corporation commission would have the "letters of organization", which tells who runs the company, who has a monetary stake in the company, where it's "offices" are located .

If it's just a "mom and pop" under their own names, you can look at their business license, or look up their names for a "state resale number", which should also have current information on the company .

If he does the work, but she OWNS the business, they are either filing a 1040 for him each year, or she's paying "worker's comp" on him, or the whole business is being run illegally .

You could also search local COURT RECORDS for their names, they have probably been sued in a local court if their having trouble with you .

Your vagueness is approaching a factor of "being a BRIAN" ...................

Determining the married status of a couple can be tougher than it seems since the only people who know the truth are the couple themselves.

While it's true they may have went thru a marriage ceremony attended by family and friends, they also could have divorced for "business" purposes without anybody else knowing. Or, perhaps they were never married, but carry on like they are. I know of two acquaintances who completed fake (but real) divorces because it helped them in business transactions.

In California, marriage licenses are mostly confidential, but not for the reasons you think. Filing for a "confidential" license allows the couple to forego an otherwise required blood test. Thus, nearly all marriage licenses are confidential. Interestingly, you can find Las Vegas marriages online for free. In either case, a license does not always mean they were married, though.

Also, public records in California are getting harder to come by. In most instances, unless you are a spouse, parent, or immediate family member, almost all vital records are no longer available. California, like many other states, is moving towards becoming a closed records state due to identity theft concerns.

Tax records and tax filing status are usually the best indicator; but obviously are not readily available. Plus, the status of a marriage could change within a tax year. Not likely, but it can happen.

Also, insurance records of all sorts are usually a strong indicator, too. Sometimes tax liens shed light on sole proprietorship/dba type businesses.

Because all the situations discussed-above can change in short notice, a two-step approach is best.

First, you find an indicator they are married; second, you check to see if a dissolution action was filed to change that status.

For example, real property ownership and even bank accounts are "titled instruments"; how they are owned has legal bearing on a marriage in a community property state.

In this instance, you are looking for a deed or a trust deed where title is vested as "Husband and wife", or "Married as his/her separate property."

Then, you look for a divorce action. More importantly, you need to review the court docket to see if the divorce was finalized. If no final judgment/stipulated judgment can be found, then the marriage was not terminated. Sometimes people will file a petition only, just to deceive creditors. But, if no divorce filing is found, then it's a decent indicator they are still married.

As I said in my opening sentence, only the two parties themselves know the factual truth. All you can do is expire the available resources, and go with the best information you can find. If you enter into litigation, then later you will have legal tools (discovery and interrogatories) to determine the legal marriage status. But, you will have exhausted reasonable due diligence, instead of making a decision based on hearsay, or a guess.

Had an inmate respond, very helpful and had a nice long conversation to boot.

Not sure if he wants to be ID'd so that would be up to him.

Thanks again:thumbsup
