I think it may be possible! If you file for the divorce as her whereabouts unknown, she will not be served papers. The law will probably require you to post the pending divorce in the news paper as an option from having her served. If she reads the news paper then she may find out but if she is like most younger women, they don't read the news paper let alone the legal portion of the news paper. I filed in Colorado and that is how I filed for my divorce. Living in a different state you may not have the options I just mentioned but if you are trying to do it with out her knowing then give it a try. Hope this is your best answer! Good luck with it!

i'm from WV too and i really don't think so, especially if there are children involved.
you can file the papers and she will be served (if they can find her based on the address you give them) (hint,hint)
if she then doesn't appear for the court date then you will be granted the divorce and probably everything you ask for.
my husband was actually at his hearing but his ex's lawyer said he wasn't there--the judge then held the hearing in his chambers the ex got what she wanted (everything) and my husband got screwed to the wall.(he got the car payment, for the car she got,h e got all the credit card bills she got the kid and he got all the medical bills and utility bills)

NO, she will have to be served with papers then a court date will be set, which you both need to attend. The final step will be the signing of the papers.

No in our legal system there is a thing known as due process of law which means she has to be legally served notice of a legal action pending against her. Sorry

No, because everyone is entitled to have their say heard in a court of law...including your wife.

You can't because one of you gets to keep your parents and they talk!
