You may have a will drafted without your spouse knowing about it. However, keep in mind that you cannot disinherit your spouse in most jurisdictions in the United States. The state laws would give them a share if you leave them out of your will.

∙ 12y agoNo. That goes against legal doctrine in most countries. Every person who is a party to a law suit must be given notice. The court will require that you serve your spouse with your complaint for divorce and you will need to attest to the fact they have been notified. If you claim you don't know where they live it will require you serve notice at their last know address and publish a notice in the local newspaper. You shouldn't try to obtain a divorce in secret. If you do, your spouse can come back at some future date and reopen the case. Your decree could be vacated and you could be required to start over.
