Hello,
I got married last year, but I have realised that I married the wrong man. He has moved out of the house, I do not know where he stays and he has even changed his phone number, so I cannot reach him. I want to divorce him. May I please know how to go about the divorce process.
Thank you.

You get a lawyer and file for divorce. There are procedures to handle divorces where one party is missing. Your lawyer will know how to deal with them.

Has he ever stopped by? Or if he hasn't, yeah I would file divorce. Sign the papers and its good, and why did he move out if he doesn't know you want to divorce?:confused:

All jurisdictions have procedures for absentee parties. The notice requirement varies from place to place but usually you have to take certain steps to show you have tried to contact the other including putting an ad in the paper.

See a lawyer who will tell you what your state requires when one person's whereabouts are unknown.

It will be a lot cheaper and a lot easier if you "find" him and have him sign the papers agree to divorce.
