Re: absent spouse
It is relatively simple to process your dissolution. Your husband, if he cannot be found, may be served by publication in a newspaper. It will take a little extra time to complete as service will not be complete until the publication has been done. Your dissolution can be final 6 months after publication is compltete. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
Re: absent spouse
You may try service via publication, however, there may be jurisdictional issues as he is in another country. Contact me directly for assistance.
