She's telling people at work that she remarried a few months ago.
This is important because it means I could stop making spousal support payments. She tells me that she isn't and that she has no idea what I'm talking about. I checked the county records and I don't see a marriage license. However, her SO lives in Michigan and had a place in Frankfurt.
She is a pathological liar so who knows. Is there an online source any of you would recommend?

Using common-law marriage is an old, and highly-ineffective, trick for getting the benefits of marriage (health insurance, tax treatment, etc) without cluing in the former spouse that they can stop sending the support payments.
There's a specific legal test for whether she's in a common-law marriage or not. You should talk to a lawyer if she lives in a state that recognizes common-law unions. You may well have a reason to recover some of the support you paid her.
