Q: Married in CA live in FL no contact w/husband for 4 yrs. How do I get a divorce?
I was in the Navy when I married him in 2004. Haven't seen him since 2007. Last email with him was on Feb 18th 2016. I have looked for him on social media, and even paid a site to get information about him. None of the numbers listed are in service and his email is no longer valid. I'm trying to buy a house but would need a letter from him stating that he would not be on the mortgage. I'm at a loss on what to do.
A: You may try and retain a PI to conduct a location search. It may also be possible for you to dissolve your marriage via service by publication. It would be wise to schedule a consult with one of us divorce attorneys in order to obtain more specific information.
Mr Eric Klein agrees with this answer
A:
You will have to publish the divorce. It is possible to get you divorced. You should consult with and retain a family law attorney to assist you as it is a little complicated. Most JUSTIA attorneys offer a free initial consultation. Contact one of us and let us know you found us on JUSTIA. Good luck.
Sincerely,
B. Elaine Jones, Esq.
