Hi my common law husband is married and is applying for a divorce he has been separated for six years, however we both live together and has to children he lives in trinidad but she lives in tobago and she does not want to give him the address for where she lives so as to complete the form with her information can the divorce be granted, they have three children together ages 27, 25 and 20 they have nothing on both of their names no house, no car no land no bank accounts will the court grant him the decree absolute even though her info is unknown to him, in other words will he be able to get the divorce.

First, as long as he is legally married he can't be your husband, common law or otherwise.

However, if she refuses to give her address so she can be served, there are other ways. He may have to hire a PI or post in her local newspaper. He should consult his attorney about local rules for service.

Correct he is not your husband, he is your boyfriend, you are his mistress

The local court where he is trying to do the divorce should tell him how to do this, in the US, it is a matter of posting notice in the news paper or serving the last known address in some places. Sounds like he has not consulted an attorney??

Yes, if he gets her properly served with process. That would depend on the rules for whichever state or country where the divorce is filed. Is he filing this in some state in the U.S. or is he fiiling for divorce in Tobago?
