How can I get divorced without having to find my spouse?

Seth David Schraier
Answered by attorney Seth David Schraier
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Seth D. Schraier, P.C.
First of all, once you have your spouse personally served after filing, then the action is considered joined. So if you still have an index number that was properly served on your spouse, and you have an affidavit of service showing that she was served, then you do not have to start a new one. However, if you were unable to have her personally served before, and need to start a new case, then you will have to try and get her personally served with the new divorce papers. If you do not know where she is at the moment, then you will have to do due diligence to locate her, including hiring a private investigator to locate her. If they are unable to do so, and provide you with an affidavit of due diligence, then you will have to apply to the court for alternate service including nail and mail service to her last known address or service by publication by posting a legal notice which requires a number of conditions to be met. In terms of the child support, however, if your son now resides with you, but you are still paying child support for an on-going child support order (that is to say, not paying off owed arrears), then you should immediately file a Petition for Modification of a Child Support Order based on a change of circumstances as you are now the custodial parent of your son.

My husband wants a divorce

Your rights are to an economic settlement that will vary depending upon what there is available to divide. You should contact a local attorney and discuss the situation in detail - then come up with a plan.

Does a lawyer bare the responsibility to explain how involved some things will be before honoring their clients request?

She asked a question and the attorney did his best to answer it. Perhaps the attorney overbilled, perhaps your friend complains about bills after she incurred the cost. Your friend should talk with the attorney about the bill and about the charges that were incurred and may be incurred.
