What is the name of your state? Illinois
My husband (married Dec 02) moved back to Australia for a job in March 04 and returned for the birth of our child in June 04 and that was his last time in the states. Since then, our marriage has fallen apart and he has stopped all communication with me after I filed for child support in March 05 with the Aussie CS authority.
How do I divorce him w/o his cooperation? Can I advertise? Service is very difficult -- and extremely expensive.
Would it be on the ground of abandonment -- -even though he pays CS (forced) through the CS the AU agency? If abandonment -- will IL courts address CS? Offer him any visitation? Allow me to designate the baby's custody if I were to die?
Thanks in Chicago
