How do you final a divorce if the spouse is missing in California?

In: Divorce and Marriage Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

You can't finalize a divorce when the spouse hasn't signed. The courts have ways of finding and serving them. Get with your lawyer. If the spouse has totally dropped off the grid, name change etc. then I'm sure the courts can finalize the divorce but they will not divide property etc.
