Legal Question in Family Law in California

Hello. I have been trying to get divorced for 2 years. My husband filed for divorce asking full custody of our son. I responded asking full custody with supervised visitation due to his mental state. Nothing has been done since. My husband refuses to give me his address. I only have a phone number to reach him at and he refuses to proceed with the divorce. He has not seen our son in 2 years. We have been seperated for 3 years. My son is nearly 7. I was told to file a motion to proceed with judgement... how will I do this without serving him papers? Is there a chance he could gain custody even if he is not present? We have no property I am concerned with. Only the 1 child. I am now a resident of WA state. But the divorce is in CA.

It would be best for you to try to locate a family law attorney where the case is located. If neither of you have done anything with the court case, you may still have to do financial disclosures which are a requirement, among other things. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as filing a motion and then you're done.
