Getting a divorce when spouse whereabouts unknown.

The first thing you need to do is a diligent search for her and make every reasonable attempt to find her. There are multiple steps and multiple types of searches that need to be performed in order to meet the statutory requirements. If unsuccessful, then certain documents and affidavits need to be filed, and a Notice of Action will be issued by the Clerk which would need to be published properly in order to properly constitute service via publication. Once she has been properly served via publication and if she fails to respond, then the divorce can proceed based on the default.
