The same process is used regardless of the whereabouts of the non filing spouse. The party wanting the divorce files the dissolution of marriage petition in their state and county of residence. Service to a spouse who is not living in the state where the divorce is filed is known as an edictal citation. If the whereabouts of the person is not known the filing party must prove to the court that they have made every possible attempt to find the person or a member of the person family (subsituted service). A spouse who refuses to respond when served with the dissolution summons, regardless of where they may be residing forfeits his or her right to contest the action. When the non filing spouse refuses to respond or cannot be found, the requesting spouse will be granted the divorce under the default laws of the state in which the petition is filed.

What are the three types of divorce and how do they differ from each other?

The three types of divorce are fault-based, no-fault, and summary divorce. Fault-based divorce requires one spouse to prove that the other spouse is responsible for the breakdown of the marriage, such as through adultery or abuse. No-fault divorce allows couples to end their marriage without proving fault, typically citing irreconcilable differences or irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Summary divorce is a simplified and quicker process for couples who meet specific criteria, such as having a short marriage, limited assets, and no children.

Yes, you would need to divorce the second spouse because the first marriage is still legally valid. Since the first spouse never signed the divorce papers, you are still married to them, making the second marriage invalid under most legal systems. To resolve the situation, you should seek a divorce from the first spouse to legally end that marriage before considering your options regarding the second marriage.
