Complicated Situation


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia/Georgia.

My brother's wife, who is Active Duty Navy, filed a restraining order on him, that the judge granted for two years. This was filed in Virginia. She then moved to Tennessee and he moved to Georgia. He hasn't seen or spoken to her in over a year. The last time he filed for divorce, before the restraining order, she sent them back unsigned. Now he wants to file for divorce again, because his life has been put on hold for these two years for something he didn't do. However, the restraining order says he can't contact her or her parents. How does he get a divorce? All he knows is that she lives in Tennessee, but has no address, no phone numbers, etc.

He can serve her. There are legal channels he can pursue. Send him here for more help.

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. The devil is in the details after all.

Complicated Situation


Did you post a link for me to look at? Because it didn't show up. I really want to see him out of this situation and it feels like every way he turns, he hits a dead end. Even with the attorney he hired and now he can't afford to retain a new one.

I think OG was suggesting your brother sign up himself and asks his questions; it can be quite tricky dealing with a third party - if only because it's virtually impossible for that third party to know everything about the situation.
