Yes, it is possible to get a divorce without knowing the whereabouts of the other party. However, it does involve getting permission from the court to effect service by publication which takes time and effort on your part. You have to show the court that you made reasonable efforts to locate the other party and after such efforts, you still could not. If service by publication is permitted by the court, you will be allowed to publish the summons in a local newspaper (once every week for 4 weeks). Respondent then has 30 days to respond to the constructive notice given. After this, you will be allowed to proceed uncontested in your dissolution of marriage.
