Your husband may have made a special arrangement to file in his own name for a lower fee. The case file on his divorce case needs to be obtained. Depending upon what happened a motion to enter the Judgment retroactively may be able to be accomplished. If not that divorce case needs to be completed and then you may even need to be re-married to your current husband. An attorney can advise you in more detail.

You are still married. Being separated is not the same as being legally separated. You need a court judgement to be legally separated.
