If you want to file for divorce, then you will need to make sure that the divorce papers are properly served. If you have tried but you really cannot locate your wife, then the court usually allows service by publication in a newspaper. Make sure you find out from the court exactly how to proceed if you can't locate your wife.
You may want to consult a divorce lawyer to make sure that your divorce is properly finalized.
