How can I file for divorce if I cannot locate ex who has been gone for 12 years?

You can file, inform the court that you do not know where your ex is, and perform service by publication. Once that service runs for 6 weeks, you can proceed to a hearing.

Who is entitled to the funds from our second property in a divorce?

Theodore William Buselmeier
Answered by attorney Theodore William Buselmeier (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Buselmeier Law & Associates, P.A.
Generally, so long as your refinanced money could be traced (that is, proved that you used the refi money to purchase the home), then that initial equity would be considered nonmarital property and not subject to division. You're correct, the gain realized during the marriage would be marital property and therefore divided. However, there is a law in MN that allows for division of nonmarital property but it is largely discretionary by the judge and not commonly applied. I can think of many scenarios that you would allow for distribution of your nonmarital property voluntarily. One example would be payment for consideration of a spousal maintenance (alimony) waiver.
