If the server can not deliver the documents for some reason, the notice can be printed in your local newspaper. That makes it public and the spouse is considered "served". From then on - you don't need him if he won't cooperate. You can still get the divorce. Your attorney should be able to explain it all to you. If you are being hassled by spouse over this, get a protection order. If you are trying to do a "do it yourself" divorce...you, as they say "have a fool for a client, and you need to hire an attorney right away.

What can one do if their spouse leaves the home. Can he or she file for divorce?

Your spouse walked out, and you'd like to file for divorce? "Abandonment" is grounds for divorce in any of the "fault" states. The essential procedure is to publish a notice of intent to divorce in the paper for one month. If it hasn't been answered by then, you file for divorce and it's granted. I recommend changing the doorlocks.


what happens if I do not have an address to notify my partner of my intent to divorce?

You'll need to file a 'Petition for Divorce, Summons with or without Children, Spouse's Location Unknown.' What happens is that the notice of the divorce petition will appear in a local publication acceptable to the court. That will be sufficient notice for the courts to proceed.

Can your spouse divorce you without you knowing about it in Texas?

Yes. Here's the scenario. You and your spouse separate and fall out of touch with each other. Your spouse, for whatever reason, decides it's time to divorce you but doesn't know how to reach you. Your spouse can file for divorce in Alabama (and most other states for that matter) and seek the court's permission to serve you by publication, the running of an advertisement about the divorce filing that runs for four consecutive weeks in a local newspaper. And this is often a newspaper that no one but lawyers reads. At the end of the four weeks, you are deemed to have been served with legal process about the divorce case, even though everyone knows there's little or no chance you actually would have read that notice. 30 days after that, your spouse can file an application with the clerk to have you declared in default, clearing the way for your spouse to give oral testimony in court and obtain a divorce.
