Dear jdrocks:
Yes, you can still file for divorce. In the scenario you describe, you will have to attempt service at her last known address, make a reasonable effort to determine her whereabouts, and then you can serve her by publication in a newspaper in the jurisdiction where she last resided. You may want to retain an attorney for this process, as it may be complicated and procedural tricky. Best of luck!
