∙ 14y agoI know this is true in "no fault" states - there is a protocol for serving divorce papers. If you know this person's location (residence or business), attempts will be made to serve the papers. If this person can not be found or does not want to be found and the papers can not be served directly, a notice is put into the local newspaper that will act as the serving process. This gives the other person the opportunity to be notified if the other attempts fail. Then the divorce proceeds without the other person.
