HOW CAN I DIVORCE MY ABSENT WIFE?

QUESTION: If I can't find my wife and I don't know where she moved how can I get a divorce and do I have to do it in that state or can I file where I live?

MY RESPONSE:

You can file for divorce only in the state whose residency requirements you have met, which would be in the state where you live.

You would best retain an experienced family law attorney to represent you in your divorce; the attorney would have the resources available to search for your wife, and if unable to locate her, to obtain an order allowing you to serve your wife by publication.
