How do you locate a spouse that you are seperated from and have a protective order against in order to file and finalize a divorce?

Speak with a lawyer or representative on this because if he is trying not to be found than papers for divorce will do nothing, this happens everyday when divorces end up getting nasty. And you can have action taken against you if you try to serve papers because your violating the rules of the protection order. A lawyer will be able to make arrangments for papers to be served and one that is experienced in divorces will be your best bet because they will know the tactics required to get a signing. Your spouse may be intentionally complicating the situation out of contempt or just to avoid fees, or money owed to you out of marriage, etc. In some case, people have been required to hire private investigators but always do this at the counsel of a lawyer for your own safety and that of your family.
