Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: I need a divorce

It is still possible to divorce your wife, even if you are not sure of her whereabouts. You would have to request to the court permission for alternative service.

Feel free to email me separately if you need further assistance.

Re: I need a divorce

You have to live in Massachusetts for a year when the cause for divorce did not occur in Massachusetts.

You can divoce someone you do not have an address for, although it can get complicated. Assuming no child support or property (especially real estate) issues, you can file a motion when you file the divorce asking the court to allow service by publication in a newspaper in the area she last lived or you believe she may be living.

There are none of her family that you can get a current address from? Have you sent a letter to her previous address with "address service requested" on the envelope? Be sure your return address is also on the envelope. Have you done a web search? Have you searched the ISP provider if you had a joint account?

Have you checked the court where the divorce was to be filed? Have you checked the court where the divorce had to be filed when you signed the papers? (She might have changed the papers around your signature if she discovered she could not file in the court she thought.)

Have you searched your name on the web to see if it was published for a divorce somewhere?

I offer a documents-only, no representation, service for no-fault or uncontested divorces for $350.

Re: I need a divorce

BE GRATEFUL that she has disappeared.

You have now saved your life savings, your property, your sanity, and your time.

Thank goodness you have not mentioned children.

You do NOT NOT NOT need a divorce nowadays.

If you do want a divorce, you can get one for abandonment.

But DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT bother.

I have a current case where the wife was living with a male during the divorce (although she hid it up until the last week of the 59-day trial; she probably was cheating before the process, too), got pregnant with lover's child, gave birth to lover's child, bought house with lover, and MARRIED lover -- ALL BEFORE THE DIVORCE BECAME FINAL.

At the very least, two judges are well aware of both her adultery AND bigamy. Neither one has mentioned it once either orally or in writing.

Since 1/2 the propulation is screwing the other half, they do not care. In their opinions, they say ADULTERY HAS FALLEN INTO DESUETUDE, meaning "no one gives a damn."

The only bigamists who make news and get into trouble are those who marry a woman, BILK her of $$$thousands, marry another her, BILK her of $$$thousands, marry another her, BILK her of $$$thousands, marry another, and so on.

Where you want only ONE more life. You shall be safe. No judge or court will care. Clearly your ex does hot want to see you again. SO she does not care. So have fun, enjoy. The courts are terribly corrupt. Stay away from them.
