child abandoment/divorce

What is the name of your state? California

For someone who was married in New Zealand but is a resident of California.

Spouse walked out over 6 months ago. Have no idea where spouse is. Can I get a divorce and custody of a minor child when my spouse is out of the country but I have know idea where they are?

many thanks

Yes, though it will take longer. Hire an attorney, file for custody, child support and divorce.
