How can I get divorced without having to find my spouse?

Answered by attorney Seth David Schraier
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Seth D. Schraier, P.C.
First of all, once you have your spouse personally served after filing, then the action is considered joined. So if you still have an index number that was properly served on your spouse, and you have an affidavit of service showing that she was served, then you do not have to start a new one. However, if you were unable to have her personally served before, and need to start a new case, then you will have to try and get her personally served with the new divorce papers. If you do not know where she is at the moment, then you will have to do due diligence to locate her, including hiring a private investigator to locate her. If they are unable to do so, and provide you with an affidavit of due diligence, then you will have to apply to the court for alternate service including nail and mail service to her last known address or service by publication by posting a legal notice which requires a number of conditions to be met. In terms of the child support, however, if your son now resides with you, but you are still paying child support for an on-going child support order (that is to say, not paying off owed arrears), then you should immediately file a Petition for Modification of a Child Support Order based on a change of circumstances as you are now the custodial parent of your son.

Can my divorce be finalized without his signature?

You can ask the court to set a hearing date and if he doesn't show up the court will just sign the final papers you present.

He draw up the papers but he did not implement no share of pension. I want sign but not without that added. What do I do.

Show the papers to a local attorney and get the response done properly. August 26, 2014 is a very unlikely deadline...so perhaps you don't understand what's required.
