Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

I have been separated from my wife for 8 years without any communication and she is a Japanese citizen living in Japan. I live in Missouri and would like to finally end this marriage, what do I do when I have no idea how to contact her or even where she is living now. I would like to be able to do this myself as I am kinda poor and I have no idea where to start!

You can go online to the Missouri Courts and look for the pro se (self help) forms for divorce. Make every attempt to locate your wife. You might even want to find an investigator to look for her. If you cannot find your wife after make such an attempt, you can file your papers with the court and publish your divorce in the county where you filed.
