If your facts are correct, he does not need her permission to get a divorce. He likely needs a lawyer.
I concur with the the other attorney. Your brother would be wise to meet with an attorney to discuss any related economic issues that may be involved but the bottom line is that with a separation of over two years he may proceed under 3301(d0 of the divorce code two year separation.
