Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

My husband has been missing since may of 2013. He missed a court appearance therefore his bail has been revoked and they are now coming after me for the bail money. If his name is on the house, is there any way I can sell the house without him here? It will be the only way for me to come with the large amount of money that is owed. Also, how does one file for divorce when the spouse is missing? Is abandonment a legal reason for divorce....since I cannot prove whether he is dead or alive?

If you also signed for the bail bond, you are at risk.

You might be able to sell the house but would need to get a court order.

You can file for divorce without a reason, and without him being personally served. There is a way to do that (you need a court order).

You may call for a free consultation. 801.725.0980.
