Some lawyers have purchased special computer tools that are very effective in locating people. Depends on who you talk to.

You really don't need an attorney for that. All you need to do is file for your divorce and have your spouse served by publication. The Court Clerk will have instructions on service for you to follow. Good luck.

If you can show that you have made a reasonable but unsuccessful attempt to locate your spouse, the judge can approve you serving notice of the divorce on your spouse by publication in a newspaper, typically a legal newspaper.
