QUESTION

Is it possible to divorce a missing man?

Asked on Jan 09th, 2016 on Divorce - California
More details to this question:
My husband recently fled assault charges. He disappeared without saying a word to me or any of his family. He has yet to be found but left with a vehicle that we owe money toward and all of the money in our accounts. I would like any advice regarding the vehicle or possible issues with getting a divorce without him present.

You can file for divorce and, if he hasn't been found by the time you need to serve him, the court can give you permission to serve him by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the town of his last known residence. If the car he took is community property, it should be listed in your divorce petition.
