For some counties, there are online portals and you can just type in her name and see if there is a divorce record. Those are helpful if and only if one of those counties had jurisdiction. For example: https://proportal.cambriacountypa.gov/civil.publicsearch/(S(kf3ef14n3ok0y1ysvdrebq2m))/Default.aspx.

I would touch base with the prothonotary for the counties, though. They should be able to help. https://www.pacourts.us/courts/courts-of-common-pleas/prothonotaries

Thanks! I will start just browsing to see if there are any quick search options. Unfortunately, she has no idea which county to start, so I was hoping not to contact every single one. My mom was not involved in the filing, and apparently the ex "saw a newspaper ad" and filed with a random county to save money.

Just an FYI - that random county is typically Potter County. That's where mine came from when it wasn't in person.

You're welcome. I really feel that's the best place to start, as they run a lot of "$400 quick and easy divorce" ads.
