You need to meet with an attorney in person and discuss the details of your case.

If he is not bothering you, then why open up this can of worms?

He will have to be notified of the lawsuit. If you don't know where he is then there can be substituted service & the court will probably appoint an attorney to represent him. I don't know how the judge would handle the paying of this attorney - you might be ordered to pay this attorney's fees as well as your own.

You need to talk to an attorney in person & discuss. Look on this website & on www.avvo.com

Good luck!
