Re: divorce

In order to proceed with the divorce you will need to locate him and have him personally served. However, if you were able to locate him you may need a court order permitting "substituted service". However, this process generally requires the assistance of an experienced attorney. You can contact me via email or my website at www.traceyabloodsa.com
