What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL

ok i have run into a bit of a problem. Husband who i have been separated from b/c he left the country back to ecuador in 1994 had given me an address. Problem im having is it costs an arm and a leg to get him served in ecuador. I already filed all the divorce papers in my county and had put an address as far as where he lived . If i can't get him served in ecuador can i go back and do a divorce by publication?

Thanks!

I would not worry about divorce by publication at this time. Even if you have very expensive service in Ecuador, it's likely to be more expensive to do it by publication - even if you were allowed. I'm not sure you'd even be allowed because you know where he lives.

:confused:So would that mean i would have to do service by publication in Ecuador b/c that's the last place he's known to be at. I was told it would be the last place here in the US?

im sooo confused

As I said, I would put divorce by publication aside and not consider it at this point. Focus on getting him served.
