You would need to refile for the divorce as it has probably been over 2 years since the divorce was filed.

To get a divorce he must be served with the divorce complaint. So you have to know where he is. One so you can attempt service by mail or sheriff and if that fails then you would serve by publication. Even then you would have to know at least what county he is in to effect service by publication.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
