I was 20 years old when I got married Iโm 27 now and I donโt have any contact with him. Bu believe he still lives in South Africa. I live in Florida. How do I get a divorce?
As long as you have lived in Florida for more than 6 months you can file for divorce. There is a method to publish in a local paper to "serve" your spouse, after you have filed an affidavit that you do not know his whereabouts.
The court can grant you a divorce, but cannot make any determinations regarding any property you own, any alimony or child issues (though I do not think you have a child with him).
Hope this helps!
Good luck,
