Q: What do I need to do to divorce my husband?? He was deported in 1997 and we have one child under 18. He is in Chile.
We were married in 1995 and he was deported in 1997. I did live in Chile off and on for 8 years but came home in 2007 with our 3 children and NEVER looked back. Two are over 18 and one is almost 15. He has never supported the children financially and honestly it is time to divorce him and go on with my life. He is in Chile but other then that, I have no idea where he is. I wanted to find a pro bono lawyer if possible. We we married in Lexington but I have resided in Nicholasville for almost 10 years.
