Technically yes. By this I mean that if there is a situation in which one spouse cannot be found (and the other spouse attempted to locate the spouse) then the court will proceed with the divorce without that spouse and enter a default divorce. However, if you were never served the paper work to put you on alert that you were getting a divorce then you do have the option, within a certain amount of time, to contest the entry of the default divorce. Although you cannot necessarily reverse a divorce you are given an opportunity to argue your side.

Well, it is illegal to marry without being officially legally divorced. You won't be able to get a marriage liscence without your divorce papers, so you won't even be able to get married. If somehow it does get through the system, the punishment depends on the state, in most states it can be up to 5 years in prison and a $5000 fine.
