The only way is to serve the other party with a summons and a petition and then they default. If she cannot be located for personal service you will have to get authorization from the Court to use publication service.

You will need to have a Summons issued and then served on her by a sheriff or process server. If she does not file an answer within twenty days of being served she will be in default and you can obtain the divorce by default.
