My ex has been gone since December - I have filed for custody and child support - I have tried to set up a property settlement agreement through my lawyer - we mailed it to him, but he refuses to discuss it. He has had no contact with me or his children (his phones have been turned off) since mid March. Once December (this year) rolls around, can I file for divorce EVEN IF HE WON'T work with me on property settlement? What is the statute of limitation on how long this can go on?
