1 Answer from Attorneys
It is possible to get a divorce without the other spouse's consent. If the parties have been separated for more than one year, a divorce may granted on that ground. The most important step is proper service of the papers on the spouse. Even if the spouse's whereabouts are unknown at this time, it may be possible to serve her the papers by publication in a newspaper.
