Finding a Missing Spouse for Divorce
A person looking to file for divorce may have problems separating from his or her spouse if the individual cannot actually locate the other person. In some situations, a person may unexpectedly abandon his or her spouse or family. In other scenarios, a person may become separated from his or her spouse but never actually go through the legal process of severing the marriage ties. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to track down and pursue a divorce under these circumstances.

Locating Absent Spouses
Sometimes, it can be difficult to locate a missing spouse in order to proceed with a divorce. However, it is important to dissolve the union so that you can remarry or sever other legal ties related to marriage. The following methods may be used to find a missing spouse:
- Searching for a spouse through social media outlets
- Asking law enforcement agencies for help
- Hiring a private investigator
- Asking the military about enrollment information
Once a person has an address for their spouse, they can have divorce papers served. After being served, the spouse must reply, or they can face penalties from the court.
