If after a diligent search to find your husband's whereabouts you cannot find him the court can order that he be served by publishing in a newspapaer or possibly by posting at the court house. You can then get your dissolution. It will take about 8 months so start early. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

I recommend using an attorney for this process. First off you need to file a dissolution action with all the requsite paperwork. If you are not able to find your husbands whereabouts, you will then have to do a motion to publish the complaint. If the complaint is not answered then you would file a request for default.

I would be more than happy to handle this situation for you. If you in Southern California and want a free telephone consultation you may call be at 818-998-1584
