Q: How Can I Get A Divorce If My Spouse Lives In Another State?

Q: I am not sure of an address because he is not willing to co-operate with giving any information. He does not want to sign the papers. We have been married for 18 years in NY state and separated for about 6 years. 2 children ages 19 and 14 no assets are involved. I also have limited resources so not really able to afford thousands of dollars for attorneys fees.

A: One would need additional facts to see whether NY would have jurisdiction – such as whether you were married here & how long you’ve lived in NY. Additionally, he’s entitled to be served with the divorce papers, so you’d generally need to locate an address at which he can be served.
