Spousal address/summons delivery

I would contact her attorney and ask if he is willing to accept service of the complaint on her behalf or provide you with an address to serve her. If that is not the case, you can serve her via sheriff at work. Let her attorney know that you intend to do this unless he can help you get this resolved.

Thanks so much for the information. As a general rule, do courts accept divorce filings in which the defendant’s home address is listed as either unknown, refused or care of her attorney’s address?

They will accept if for filing if the address is unknown, however you must serve your spouse before you can proceed with the divorce action.

My wife and I have been legally separated for 11 months during which I was requested to send support payments directly to her atty’s office. Recently I requested my wife’s address from her atty for the purpose of divorce filing and summons delivery. My requests have been ignored while the enclosed support checks have been cashed. Our separation agreement states that husband and wife have mutual obligations with respect to the “right of action of divorce”. If I am unable to obtain my wife’s address/delivery info what are my options?
