You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If you do not know her address, you will have to serve her by publication in the newspaper designated by the court in your jurisdiction. During the action, you will have to file an Affidavit of Diligent Search detailing all the steps you took in order to try and locate your wife. If the court is not satisfied that you actually tried to locate your wife, the divorce will not be granted.
