Re: serve divorce papers
I don't understand why you have to keep doing personal service. If you served the initial papers personally and she didn't respond then you get a default and everything gets mailed to her last known address. Your divorce can be granted 6 months after she was served. I presume you send her child support through the court. Do you not know where your child lives? Is there a restraining order in place in Louisianna? I just don't see why she is obstructing you from obtaining a dissolution of the marriage.
