You will give a petition and the sheriff or a process server will serve him with the divorce papers. Once he is served, ha has 20 days to respond or all you asked for in the petition is deemed admitted. If he does not answer or take any action (which most likely he will), the judge will enter the appropriate orders in your case, such as child support orders and dissolution of marriage. If you cannot find him after trying to look for him through due diligence, then you may be able to file for divorce, serve his by publication and this way get a divorced. However, this way a judge will not be able to enter a child support order and thus this aspect of the case will remain pending until the court can find him. The above is only general information and shall not be construed as legal advice. It is always recommend you consult with an attorney to review all the details of your case.
