Not if you both do it right.

It depends on what you mean by problems. Do you know where your spouse is? If not, you may have to first attempt service at last know address and if that can?t be discovered you may have to serve by publication. If you own property, it may be more difficult. You should at least visit with a divorce attorney about your options before filing, even if you may be able to handle it yourself using the pro se forms.

Missouri is a no-fault divorce state, which means if one party testifies that the marriage is irretrievably broken? and there is no likelihood the relationship can be saved, the spouses will get their dissolution and the marriage will be legally over. There is no need for one spouse to blame the other or tell the court what caused the marriage to end. Generally, the answer to your question will depend on a variety of factors such as children born outside of the marriage, property, accounts, etc. In order to begin the process a petition must be filed.

There would not be any problems due to the length of the separation. As long as you can find and serve your spouse, you can do the divorce.

That depends on whether the other party disputes property issues, if any. There's no problem getting the divorce.
