She can (and should) consult an attorney.

She needs to speak with an attorney.

A message board can't really help her.

The others are right - she needs to see an attorney because it's not something she can easily do on her own.

However, to answer your question, yes it is possible for her to get a divorce even if she doesn't know where her husband is. It will involve notifying her husband by publication - and any decent family attorney will be able to do it.

I don't know how long it will take since that varies a great deal from one county to the next, but, again, her attorney can tell her.
