Re: Divorce
You can file a divorce action in your county, using your spouse's last known address. You will have to file a notice of the suit in a newspaper after getting court permission to satisfy the requirement that the defendant be served (notified) of the suit. Once that is done and sufficient time has passed to give your spouse a chance to respond, you can get a divorce hearing.
