Q: How do I divorce him when I don't know where he is?
He left a month after we married. I have never know an address. He refuses to tell me. We have a 19yr old daughter. She was born 11yrs before we got married. No financials link us. Always had our finances separate. No shared properties of any kind. No bills together of any kind. He won't contest the divorce, but also won't help. I am very poor.
A: What a chump! He won’t go TOO far from his daughter and you probably wouldn’t be criticized if you published the Summons in a newspaper where you live. His daughter might have some idea where her father is too. You might also be able to get the court to waive your filing fees. Go down to the courthouse and talk to the Court Assistance Office and they’ll help you fill out the forms! Good luck to you!
