You can proceed with a divorce in California if you cannot locate your spouse by using Service by Publication or Service by Posting. That is, by publishing to summons in a newspaper that serves the location where your spouse is likely to be, or by posting a notice at the courthouse. To do either of these, you have to convince the court that you made a good attempt to locate your spouse first. Both publishing and posting last 28 days. To do posting, you have to qualify for a fee waiver, meaning you have to convince the court you can't afford the costs of publication.
The first source below has detailed instructions for using this type of service. I found this at the second source, which has links to additional information about California divorce and other topics.

Yes, you can. An attorney or the court clerk can explain that process. The laws make provisions for those situations when the whereabouts of a spouse are unknown. Generally, notice can be sent to their last known address and published in the local newspaper.
No. The appeal is the answer from your spouse for your filing for divorce. A divorce in CA takes 6 months for a basic no fault divorce and with no other problems.
