what does the Waiver of Citation method mean ? and does it apply in our situation?
A: Don’t need a social security number to get a divorce. Just file for divorce and have your wife sign the waiver of citation and agreed decree of divorce. Then prove it up. He attendance is not required. Even if a hearing is scheduled for any reason most are done by zoom now. If she is willing to cooperate then should be very easy.
