No this is not possible. For the divorce to be legal both parties have to be aware of the divorce. There are also other requirements such as both have to be within the country at the same time so for example (this is based on a true story) if a military wife decided she liked the Pepsi guy more than her husband who has been in Iraq for a year she cannot proceed to get a divorce until he is notified and returned from deployment.

What are a client's rights when their attorney gets their divorce without their knowledge?
How would it happen that you would have no knowledge of this impending divorce? You have to be served with papers, for starters. That should be a clue. Every effort has to be made to notify you of the divorce action before it can be continued without you. Once you have been served, you have knowledge. If you ignored this, never answered the requests for court appearance, etc., in some states it means the divorce is granted to the petitioner by default. Unless you are in "hiding" so that no one can contact you (and you'll eventually need to explain that one), it is pretty hard for a divorce to go through with no input from you.
