Legal Question in Family Law in California

I live in CA. 40 years ago I got married & 4 years into the marriage I got pregnant. At that time while I was pregnant, my husband abandoned me. My son is now 35 years old & I have never spoke with my husband again from the time he left. Is there a law that would recognize us as being divorced because he's been gone for so long?

Unless you go through the procedural formalities of completing a divorce action, you remain married. If you have no idea where your ex-husband is, there are certain ways where he can be served including notice of publication.

Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.
