Re: Spouse leaving
You have several choices. First hire or have a person over age 18 drive to her place and serve the papers on her. That person will need to fill out a proof of service form and sign it in front of a notary public. (Service is not required by a sheriff.) Second ask her to sign and return an acknowledgement of service and waiver of process form. Third sent a copy of the summons and petition by certified mail, return receipt. If these all fail, then petition the court to allow service by publication in a local paper.
