G325A help! can't remember my ex wife's birthdate

[Timotheus 0]

hi everyone!

wish you can help me.

im filling out my G325a form and i am stumped on the item that asks for prevoius wife's birthdate and marriage date.

i HONESTLY CAN NOT REMEMBER her birthdate and the date we were married (10 yrs ago) and i cant go forward with my appication.

is it ok if i just answer the item as "FORGOTTEN" ? will this have a bad effect on our application?

would u know if there's an office or a number i can inquire of my ex wife's birthdate and date of my previous marriage?

thanks, really appreciate it.

You will need the divorce decree to send it in with the application..the information will be on there..i know i had the same problem and i actually put in the wrong date of the divorce..and i noticed later it was on the divorce papers..her birth date, the date of the marriage and the date of divorce. at least that is the case in my state. Hope this helps

Yep I agree, a trip to the courthouse can answer your questions and you will need a certified copy of the divorce decree down the road anyway. In the event all the info you are looking for is not in the divorce decree you can stop by the clerk of records and get a copy of your marriage record, it definately has the info recorded on it too.

THANKS... Unfortunately, the state of Maine does NOT include the marriage date, and her birthday on the divorce decree.

Hi thanks for the tip. true, the divorce decree does NOT have the info i needed.

A trip to the clerk of records where i got married is impossible coz its in a town in GA, which i too dont remember anymore and i am currently living in ME.

anything else? i am getting frustrated already...

For birth date put the truth, "Unknown"

For your marriage date, look on the divorce decree; it should be spelled out ther.

Maybe that's why she's your ex wife..... kept forgetting her birthday...

Seriously, I think the proper response is "unknown."

Go to the courthouse and see if they can produce a copy of the original petition for dissolution of the marriage. This is not the decree, but the papers that were originally filed asking for the divorce. I would think that basic biographical information about the litigant would be contained there. If that doesn't pan out, try thinking about accounts you had together, and see if records of those accounts can be obtained. If either of you were working at the time you got married, and added the spouse to their company benefits (medical, etc.) then you might have had to submit a copy of the marriage certificate to the employer's HR department. Try asking them if they still have a copy of it. The point is that you left a paper trail while you were married. Try following that trail.

If you can remember which county you were married in, you might be able to search for marriage documents based on your own name and birthdate.

As a last resort, there are companies that will conduct a public records search on any individual for a fee.

I know an ex is an ex...I have one myself, but is there a reason you can't just call her and ask or email/Facebook her...something? What a lot of running around to do for something that could be answered with a 30 second phone call.

A couple of thoughts:

Contact the ex and ask.

Contact a friend or family member to get the info.

Look through old papers that you may have (insurance, etc.)
