More details to this question:
My boyfriend is separated from his wife for four years and she's not here and doesn't want to come in as she's in Mexico. Can he get the divorce if she's not in Arizona?
1 ANSWER
She does not have to be in Arizona. However, he will have to properly serve her wherever she is, and he needs to make sure that Arizona has appropriate jurisdiction over her and the case. I recommend he consult with an attorney if he has questions about this process.
