We were married in Louisiana but never lived together in that state. Because I was in the military the only places we lived together were in Missouri and overseas in Germany. Other than that most of the time she was at home with her mother. I lived in Colorado, Kentucky, Korea and now Georgia. We seperated under a mutual agreement in Jan '99. Since then she has been dragging her feet on either getting a lawyer herself, signing the papers I send or saying she doesn't have the money to do anything. Can I proceed without her concent after 5 years of not having physical contact and me trying legally to get a divorce from her? Not many women want to date a married man and I want and need to get my life back.
