This applies If the marriage was made in the UK
you can obtain a divorce of the factual ground that you have been separated for five or more years (wife does not have to give consent) OR becuase you do not know here whereabouts you could get the divorce on the fact that she deserted you two or more years ago *
Get to your local county court and ask for a form D8 Divorce petition and guidance notes. *Tell them you do not know wife's address
Complete it and take 3 copies to county court and pay a fee approx. £350 - £410 or alternatively ask for a form X160 to see if you are el;idgble to waiver fee
Should take about 6 or 8 weeks to divorce from there

You need a lawyer.
First, you need to find out the status of the original proceeding. I strongly suspect it has been dismissed for one reason or another, but you need to know for certain. If it is still active, even if the rules of procedure call for it to be automatically dismissed, anything you do in another action can be voided on motion.
Second, you need to make a reasonable investigation to find out whether or not your "spouse" might have had you declared dead or filed another divorce. If you've been abroad and out of touch with her for that long, that's a possibility.
Only after doing those two things can you safely file a new divorce action, or your situation might qualify you to have her declared legally dead.

hi, i think of you are able to desire to look after your self and bypass forward with the divorce. sure, it would desire to be the money (cynically conversing) or i think a bunch of alternative motives. maximum states have a default divorce obtainable. I in basic terms moved from NJ and there as quickly as you document for divorce the different guy or woman has 35 days to respond. in the event that they don't respond you are able to document for default meaning the divorce is going on without them. it could take yet another 35 days to get on the courtroom docket or so reckoning on the state of jurisdiction (which may well be the place you and your spouse resided in the process the marriage). you do not want a lawyer to try this. They call it submitting professional se commonly and you are able to document for form of 250.00. you additionally can qualify for criminal help which might get you unfastened criminal suggestion over the telephone. they gained't characterize you in courtroom yet would furnish you with each and every thing you are able to desire to appreciate. i'm very sorry you're dealing with this- yet please, please, please do what you are able to desire to do to look after your self. no rely what the situations are, your spouse gave up her precise to something and not responding in the final 7 yrs.

If this is a Uk divorce you can get one after 5 years seperation without her consent. Get a solicitor to get things moving.
