Re: divorce
If your wife moved to Missouri and satisfied the residency requirement (90 days), it is possible that she could claim to not know your whereabouts and she could obtain a divorce using service by publication. The Missouri Court would not have personal jurisdiction over you, but could still grant the divorce itself.
