    Default Divorce From a Missing Spouse, Kids

    Ok well, my boyfriend is joining the Army, had to put it on hold because he found out he was still married. Ex served him papers years ago, he signed them, she didn't file them apparently. No other known whereabouts other than she is in Oregon. Tried looking up on zabasearch.com and was all old numbers/addresses. He already pays child support, they had two kids together and he does not mind if she takes full sole custody, no assets to divide etc, this was expected to be an uncontested case. Is there any way to do this by public notice or should he keep looking? He's trying to get this done as soon as possible, he's passed the ASVAB and physical tests, PT and AIT are even close to home here, and he can't start training because of this. I've read that if you have kids together you can't use the public notice, but if it's possible, how long does that take to complete? And I've read that this is a more expensive option and we are cash strapped as it is, why is this more expensive? Any help appreciated.

    She's collecting child support, so the child support agency knows where she is. In any event, if he's only interested in finalizing the divorce and doesn't care about property or custody, he can file based upon his present location and ask for a judgment limited to the grant of divorce. He will need to attempt service, and perhaps his process server will be able to track her down from public records or from information obtained from the child support agency.
