You are going to file and seek the court's permission to serve him either by mail if you know where he is or publication if you do not. You will not be able to get a child support order, but you can turn that over to the state support enforcement and they have ways to get one if possible. it requires personal service to get one by yourself. But you can get your status changed to single without his permission or even his actual knowledge.

Florida has a process called Service by Publication, that is one method if you do not know where he is. The alternative is to have him served in Mexico pursuant to the Hague Convention.

Yes. You file for divorce. Exercise due diligence in trying to serve him. Demonstrate to court you tried and request permission to serve by publication. Serve by publication. Wait requried time frame. Move for default divorce.
