You can get a divorce from him.

You would serve him by publication. A notice is posted and published, and that's service. You don't have to know his address (a man can't force you to stay married to him by vanishing and not leaving a forwarding address).

The Court will appoint an attorney ad litem for the husband, which will cost you an extra $300-$500, depending on the Judge.

I would charge you a flat fee of $1200 if your husband doesn't show up and fight us.

I assume that you and he don't have any children.
