? divorce registry

I was married in Boca Chica six years ago, and suspect that my husband divorced me before he left the D.R. Is there a registry that would have a record of this? How do I go about finding out my status? I am in Canada. The embassy is of no help.

Extremely difficult. Divorces are recorded in municipal offices called "Oficial?as de Estado Civil". There is at least one office per municipality. Cities have many "Oficial?as". A divorce decree granted by a Santo Domingo Court will be recorded in one of the Santo Domingo "Oficial?as". Although the "Oficial?as" report all records to a central office ("Junta Central Electoral") they are not organized there in any way that makes it easy or even feasible to find a particular record. Things would be different if you knew which court granted the divorce and when.
