How can I get divorced on grounds of abandonment as I do not know of her whereabouts as of July 2004?

Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
Colorado doesn't have any "fault" grounds for divorce, so abandonment is irrelevant. All that is required under Colorado no-fault divorce is for one of the parties to say that the marriage is "irretrievably broken". If you have been a legal resident of Colorado for more than 90 days you can file for divorce in Colorado and accomplish service by publication in Colorado. Service by publication only permits the court to grant the divorce and deal with any property located in Colorado. Since you say there are no children and no property, that won't make a difference to you.

Will I get anything if my husband divorces me for cheating?

In Washington state, your cheating is 100% irrelevant unless you wasted assets doing so, which even if you did, is probably very minimal. Don't worry about it.

Should I relocate with my kids, within state, before or after filing for divorce?

Until there is a court order about parenting time, each parent has an equal right to parenting time and there is nothing to stop you from moving across the state. Venue (where you file) is proper where he resides or in whatever county he is served in. You can, however, file in any county and it would be up to him to object to that venue and try to have it moved. You probably are better off moving before filing, but I would need to know more about the facts of your case to give you a more definitive response as to whether that would benefit you legally and you also should consider the human factors and how it will affect your case and your relationship with him going forward as co-parents if you move the kids prior to filing for divorce and getting a court order regarding parenting time (given the age of the children, the facts you state and his involvement with the kids, it sounds like you have a pretty good case to be allowed to move across the state in any case). I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation if you have further questions. I hope this helps.
