More and more often, we are receiving these questions from clients who had their spouse move out of town, usually for work or as part of a separation, and would like to file for a divorce. Generally, the most complicated aspect is serving the spouse. A divorce petition can be filed in your county of residence as long as you have resided there more than ninety days. However, your spouse must be served with the petition, which typically isn't too difficult if he/she resides in the country and you have a relatively current address for them. However, if your spouse has relocated out of the country or you have lost all contact with him/her, service could become quite a bit more complicated and costly. Either way, if you are able to serve your spouse, the remainder of the procees should be relatively simple and similar to if that individual has resided in the local county. If you are currently in this situation, please contact one of our divorce attorneys for a free consultation.
