Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada
Divorce from spouse of unknown whereabouts
I want to divorce my wife who left 4 years ago, but I don't know where she is. She is from another country and perhaps she is there, but I'm not sure. I have met someone else and wish to remarry. My question is: Can I get a quick divorce in Nevada without knowing where she is, and how long does one have to be in Nevada to obtain a divorce there? Also, how quickly can I remarry?

Your message was posted in the California forum. You need to post this in the Nevada forum. As a resident of California, you can file for dissolution of marriage in California, and you can serve her by publication in a newspaper after doing a due dilligence search for her.
I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
You will find some valuable information on various family law issues at my web site.
Good luck to you!

You would have to live in Nevada for at least 6 weeks and have the intent to remain here for an indefinite period of time to get divorced here by publication or otherwise.
