You can file for the divorce, but there are many requirements that must be met in order to serve someone by publication. If you do not do it correctly, then you are only wasting your time and money, and the divorce could be invalid.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.SpartanburgLawyers.com). I wish you the best of luck.
