How do you serve divorce papers to a spouse if you don't know where they live?

If the Sheriff's Dept. is not able to serve your spouse directly with the papers because they can not locate him, the next step is to post a public announcement of filing for divorce in the local newspaper. If he doesn't see it - that's his problem. If you can't get your spouse to cooperate or to "surface" and face the fact that you are divorcing him. you will end up being granted your divorce by default. The only problem is that if you are looking for a property settlement or cash settlement - don't count on it. The law is not going to use its limited resources to hunt your X down and make him pay.
Added; Although the steps outlined above are basicallycorrect, be certain to check the legal requirements in your particular state, they will all vary a bit in how many times you must advertise, just WHO it is that you must check with, etc, etc. (See also: discussion page.)

You dont want to sign divorce as the reasons given are not true?
Does your state require that you have "reason" to get divorced? Most states are now "no fault" so it doesn't matter why you want a divorce, you can just get one. If you do not want to sign the divorce papers as they stand, make your spouse change the offensive parts with the understanding that you will sign the new papers without a problem. Find out if you are a no fault state. Then you'll know how much weight your outrage holds. In no fault, if you don't sign, he can still proceed. Make your life as simple as possible since it's gonna happen anyway. Then get yourself a down and dirty divorce attorney and take him to the cleaners!

Is he married here or in his home country? My husband went to the Mexican consulate here in the U.S. and got papers to give power of attorney to his sister in Mexico.
