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.

Any advice(well, mostly any) would be welcomed.
