Greetings. Let me make sure I understand. Do you want to make sure that you can find him to get divorced, or do you need to resolve any of the issues of property distribution, alimony, etc?

Actually both. He has yet to sign the separation papers which have the property settlement et al in them. Also, I want to make sure that I can find him to get a divorce. And what if I find him and he refuses to sign the divorce papers? Thanks again for your time.
Greetings. First, if you want him to sign a separation agreement, my advice is that you do so prior to him moving, or at the least retain an attorney to do so prior to him leaving.
Now, as far as the divorce, he never has to sign for the divorce. If you know where he lives, you can serve him a number of different ways, but the way where he does not need to sign is when he is served by the Sheriff. So, even if he moves and you can never find him again, an attorney can still help you get divorced without his signature, although it will take a little more time and money. My advice is just to stay in contact with him as best as possible. Thank you.

I am currently separated and my husband keeps talking about moving away. What if at the end of the year separation I can’t find him to get him to sign the divorce papers? How do I get the divorce? Thanks for your help!
