In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you know your spouse has retained an attorney, you can contact him and ask if a divorce has been filed. However, the attorney has a duty of confidentiality to his client and is under no obligation to give you any information. If the answer is "no" or evasive, keep searching in order to verify whether a divorce has been filed. If the answer is "yes," you have several options. The first is to contact an attorney of your own and let her deal with your spouse on your behalf. Next is to deal directly with his attorney. If you don't have children and very little property, the divorce maybe be as simple as arranging a meeting to sign agreements. Remember that while your spouse's attorney may be very nice and helpful, he represents your spouse and his interests, not you. If are feel uncomfortable or pressured, back off and contact your own attorney. You have a right to copies of all documents and time to review them outside the attorney's office. This will depend on your individual situation. If your relationship with him is safe, meaning no history of domestic violence, sometimes the direct approach is the best. If your relationship with his family is cordial, a phone call to a parent or sibling may tip you to the truth. Check the social media pages for your spouse, his closest friends, and family. Also run an online of search of your spouse's name and "divorce." You may pick up an online docket or catch someone gossiping. Be very careful and verify you have found your spouse. In informal forums, people may use nicknames, odd spellings, and not use full names. However, it still gives you a place to start. Court clerks will speak to you over the phone, but in large counties they are very busy and may be brusque or not check the records thoroughly. It is better to go to the courthouse in person. Most courthouses have a public records computer terminal. You can search by your name or the name of your spouse. Check them carefully and get the right file. The documents can usually be printed for a small fee. Ask the court clerk's office for help. The counter clerk can look records up for you and confirm whether a divorce has been filed. If so, you can get copies of the documents for a small fee. If your spouse has moved to another county, you can contact that courthouse. The process is the same, you can contact them in person or by phone. You can also send a records request by mail. You will need to send a letter with both parties' full legal names and birth dates. It is also good to include the last four digits of the Social Security numbers to cut down on the possibility of duplicate records. There may be a fee for this service. Contact the court clerk's office to find out the cost and how to send payment with your written request. If you do not have an address for your spouse, you can call, visit, or send written requests to multiple counties where you believe your spouse may be living. This is more time-consuming, but may be the only way if you do not have an address. One duty of the county sheriff is to act as process server for legal documents. If your spouse is local, in another county, or even another state, they may have sent the divorce documents to the sheriff to serve on you. This is very common because it is economical and easy to arrange. If you work odd hours or travel, the sheriff may have been trying to contact you. If you find out the sheriff has divorce papers for you, arrange to pick them up as soon as possible. Avoiding service doesn't stop the divorce. If you and your spouse have been separated for a long time, or you have moved, the court may have allowed your spouse to effect service via publication in the local legal notice newspaper. Every county in the United States has at least one newspaper designated for publication of legal notices. Start with the most likely counties first. Where you live and where your spouse lives. Expand your search from there. Some states has searchable databases of legal notices. Others will require that you contact the newspaper by phone or in writing. Whether you want to hire an attorney to continue your search for a divorce filing or a private investigator to track down your ex so you can ask him or her if a divorce was ever filed, hiring a professional may be a good idea.
Summary: Contact your spouse's attorney. Confront your spouse and family. Conduct an online search. Contact your local courthouse. Contact the courthouse where your spouse lives. Make requests in multiple counties. Contact your local sheriff's office. Search legal publications. Hire a professional.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . Being more in touch with your senses is an important way to live in the moment. Your senses help you stay grounded and connected to physical reality. What you see, hear, taste, smell, and touch is the moment. Becoming more aware of your senses and taking measures to sharpen them will help you appreciate the present. To sharpen your sense of smell, sniff your favorite essential oils every day. You'll awaken receptors and be able to pick up on subtler smells after awhile. To heighten your hearing, listen to music with distinct sounds, like jazz music with several solos. Concentrate on learning the sounds of different instruments, and name them out loud when you hear them. To start seeing more clearly, pay more attention to details you wouldn't normally notice, like the color of people's eyes. To tempt your tastebuds, use spices and herbs you don't normally use. Try cuisines that are new to you. To enhance your sense of touch, learn more about textures. Notice the differences between cotton and polyester, or satin and silk. When you're in a beautiful place, or experiencing a wonderful event, do you find yourself imagining it as a memory while it's still happening? How many wonderful moments have been spoiled by the knowledge that they'll soon come to an end? Use your senses to help you practice enjoying moments for what they are right now. Think of savoring moments in terms of gratitude. Let's say you're on a sailboat sharing a six pack of good beer with two of your best friends, and the sun is starting to go down. Be grateful for the water, the sun, your friends, the beer, and everything else about the moment. Being upset that it'll soon be time to return to shore is a way of rejecting the moment while it's happening. Practice savoring food. Eat your favorite foods slowly, savoring every bite. Once you decide to eat a certain food, free yourself from guilt and anxiety and just enjoy the taste on your tongue. Almost every type of physical activity can lead to feelings of being in the moment. Running, swimming, biking, yoga, walking, team sports, and other forms of physical activity tend to require full attention and concentration. Your mind and your body act as one to propel you over land and through water. It might hurt or it might feel good, but either way you remain aware of the present moment the whole time you're moving. Dancing is a wonderful way to practice being in the moment. Moving your body to a rhythm requires you to be one with the music. You have to block out your inner critic and shed worries about what other people think. Having sex is another good way to be in the moment. Focus on your lover's body, the smell, the sounds, the way he or she feels. Dismiss your worries and just be present. Getting a massage can help you become more aware of your body. After a massage, you might reenter the world with a renewed sense of awareness that you are physically connected to all that's around you. Whether your preferred medium is painting, sculpture, making music, writing, knitting, or photography, making art is a wonderful way to connect your thoughts to the present, becoming more mindful. Let yourself get lost in the strokes of your brush or the characters you're creating. Making art requires such intense focus that it's unlikely your worries and troubles will intrude on the moment. . When all else fails, taking several deep breaths can help you return to the present moment. During those times when your thoughts are jumping from problem to problem and you can't seem to focus on the present, stop and breathe. Take five deep breaths, inhaling deeply through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Focus on your breath as it enters and leaves your body.
Summary:
Fine-tune your senses Learn to savor. Get moving. Create art. Breathe
