Hi all. My erstwhile wife(separated for 7 years)now lives in California. I just located her address. She won't sign any documents even though we have been apart for 7 years and have no contact.
Should I attempt to try to serve her in California, and try for a default, or should I consider the publication route that I saw at the Florida Bar site?
BTW, no children, no assets to speak of, married for 4 years, separated for 7.
Have her served , you can't file by publication as you know where she lives . The first condition for a divorce by publication is " a good faith effort " to locate the missing spouse for service .

Technically , she can't refuse service as long as it's done legally . She can choose to ignore the petition by not answering . If so , you can motion for a default divorce .
