If the other partner is missing like in a war or something like to where they cant be tracked down. * No. However, in some US states a divorce decree will be granted by "publication" if the requesting party can prove that all possible attempts have been made to contact the non petitioning spouse. In other states the requesting party must file a petition for divorce under the state's default laws.
