you need to sing divorce papers ---- Have an attorney draw up papers, and they will run it in the paper to cover the legal action that they take. Do it now that you know they are missing because you can ask for more with no argument.

If your husband abandons you and then divorces you with out you knowing can this happen?

This depends on state. I know my state has a option of divorce with spouse being absent. Meaning if he can not locate you, then pretty much he can divorce you without your approval. Now he needs to convince the court that he can not locate at all. When he leaves, you should of kept a good tab on him like do you know his family and friends. The courts will force him to find your parents and friends first before he files for divorce with spouse being absent. Other then that, no he can not divorce you without you knowing. He can file a contested case but more then likely the court will contact you or try to contact you through a process server to serve the Divorce Complaint papers. Those are my best options
