Typically, in the USA, you do not need to have contact with your wife in order to get a divorce. Neither you nor she is likely to need to prove grounds for divorce.
You need to contact a lawyer who will act as your representative,
protect your basic rights under the law, help work out a property settlement, etc.
If you have children, this will present another area where your rights need a champion. It would be unlikely that you will get full custody in any case, but you could lose all custody if you are not properly represented. Child support payments are another issue that can put a great strain on a divorce, and on life after a divorce.
Even if she starts the divorce process, you need an attorney. Things can get really complicated and nasty.

A few years ago I filed an order of protection against my wife in the interest of protecting my child, (I didn't lie). The judge ordered me to file for a divorce or my motion would be denied. I know it's not exactly you're situation, however any motion you make the court will definitely summon you're wife. You don't have to even see her until you are both in court.

tHAT'S what lawyers and process servers are for. Have you attorney draw up the petition or dissolution and file it with the county court clerks office where you reside. Arrangements will be made from their to have a sherriff or local process server hand deliver the papers to your future X wife----This can be done by serving her at home or even on the JOB---it's entirely Your choice as to where you want the papers to be delivered---Your attorney will also attempt to serve her via certified mail as well.
Get your divorce----file as the plaintiff before she beats you to the punch!

You can do it all through the courts and send her the papers. But she has to sign them. If you are in the U.S. make sure your state doesn't require conseling/mediation before a divorce is granted. As long as the divorce is not contested, shouldn't be much of a problem, except having to pay for it.

It is possible but not knowing where you are makes a difference to the answer because different countries have different laws.
If you are in Australia, ring up free legal aid and get the papers sent out to get the ball rolling. Too easy.

Dunno where you are at, So there is a small issue there. However. If you are in the USA. Have a lawyer draw up divorce paperwork and have the papers served to her. If she doesn't respond in 60 days. Its a done deal. Its not cheap, but it is the simplest way to get unhooked.

you don't need or have to talk to her to get a divorce. You file for the divorce and the court will notify her of the proceedings

You do what you do in any divorce, contact or no contact: you get a lawyer to represent you.
