You can't. You need to serve him. Florida is a no fault state. You do not need a reason to divorce.
If you are in the Duval, St. Johns, Clay or Nassau county areas, I will be glad to assist you in this matter. It sounds as if he is in the military. You will need to file a petition for divorce and a temporary needs petition for possession of the marital home and furnishings, custody, child support and possibly alimony.
