How can I divorce my Ex if I don't know where he is ?

Anonymous Asked:

I have separated now almost 4 years. I filed for divorce on the basis of adultery, and mental abuse. I went to file for divorce and I was told that I must serve him the divorce proposal. However I have no information on my ex whereabouts. I sent someone to serve him but the person couldn't find him. I want to know what is the next step I must take.

Answer: I need to read your divorce Application to provide you with exact guidance on how to proceed. We have a company that will search for him and charge a minor fee if they find him, or no fee if they cannot. If he cannot be found then we will need to obtain a Judge’s Order for either substituted service or dispending with service. As stated above, we need to see the Application to provide you with exact guidance. I suggest that you call me for a free consultation. In any event, the problem can be solved.
