A: Depending on the facts of your case, you may be eligible for a divorce by publication. Or you may just need to do more diligence on getting him served if you know his location. You should speak to an attorney to discuss your options.

A: You still have options, even if he doesn’t want to respond or makes it difficult to be served. You should consult with an attorney who can help you with the process to move forward with the divorce. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
