Divorce or abandonment

[julian07]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Iowa. My wife left me about 9 years ago and I just recently found out where she is. Is there any way to to an abandonment or will I have to do a uncontested divorce? There are no kids or assets in this also.

What do you wish to accomplish?

Whether she abandoned you or not, you'll still have to divorce her.

And if there are no kids or assets, the what do you think that abandonment could do for you?

Apparently he believes he is common law married to his squeeze. Which he isn't but if he were, he would be a bigamist. Wonder if his current girl believes they are common law married and he has not tried to dissuade her of that.....
