Is it possible for him to get married or get divorced?

Obviously, he can't get married until he divorces his first wife. He can file for divorce in Florida, but he has to make a serious attempt to find his wife to serve her with papers. He shoud speak with a lawyer to learn how to locate her or learn how to file for divorce if she can't be located.

He can not remarry legally unless he gets divorced. Hire an attorney to handle this as he can then publish a Notice of Action is the newspaper of the last known county in which she resided.
