Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I am in the process of filling for divorce. I filled out all the documents/forms which I am required for a Disslolution of Marriage here in Florida. In a nutshell, my case will not involve minor or dependent children, my wife is not pregnant and I do not have any assets or debts. We were living together, married, for 3 months before my wife returned to her country on a Advance Parole (I-131) status -- this status had expired back in March of this year.

Since my wife is no longer in the U.S. and since there is no way for her to return, how can I submit the forms without her Signature of Respondant on all the documents which require it?

If you can't get her signature, you have to file a contested divorce and have her served (in her country, which can be expensive) instead of a simplified or uncontested divorce.

Contact a private process server to find out how to have her served in her country.
