He got deported for a bunch for unnecessary things like unpaid tickets, driving without a licenses and among other issues with the law. He did not treat me very well when he was here, now he is back there and he wants to come back and he refuses to give me a divorce. What should I do?

What you should do is set up a conference with a local family law attorney. The state of Florida has jurisdiction over your marriage if you have been a resident for more than six months, and can enter a judgment dissolving the marriage. But if you have children, you will want to collect child support from him. Since you did not mention children, I will assume that you have none with him and that all you want is a divorce and that there are no marital assets or obligations that need to be divided by the court. You can get a divorce, but you need an attorney to get it done.

You have to locate him then serve him with the divorce papers.
