You can file a divorce by publication. You should talk to either an attorney, or if your state has them, a paralegal or legal document assistant to see what your state's laws say about publications.

You would have to file for a divorce in the same country where you got married. Your husband doesn't need to be there. He will be summoned to court after you have filed the papers.

if you have been seperated and excommunicated for a couple of years, I am sure there are provision under the law. But two months..may be it is too early. Just seek the advice of those who know about the relevant laws.

Talk to a lawyer.Did you become a resident of his country too.If yes then I suppose you have to apply for a divorce there

I believe there is a certain time period and then you have to make every effort to find him. See a lawyer; consultation should be free, if not go to someone else.

get a lawyer and explain things to him.... too much depends upon the laws of the other country ---- marital property, kids, taxes etc

talk to your lawyer.
he would tell you to put an ad in a certain size print in the newspaper to find him.
if he doesn't appear and you can't find him
you can get an automatic divorce.
but it has to be a certain period of time of not seeing him that you can do that
