How can I get divorced on grounds of abandonment as I do not know of her whereabouts as of July 2004?

Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
Colorado doesn't have any "fault" grounds for divorce, so abandonment is irrelevant. All that is required under Colorado no-fault divorce is for one of the parties to say that the marriage is "irretrievably broken". If you have been a legal resident of Colorado for more than 90 days you can file for divorce in Colorado and accomplish service by publication in Colorado. Service by publication only permits the court to grant the divorce and deal with any property located in Colorado. Since you say there are no children and no property, that won't make a difference to you.

You are permitted to leave the state for a vacation. Your soon-to-be-ex is just trying to intimidate you.

You can file in Colorado, but you would need to file Colorado divorce documents and agreements. She could either sign the Colorado documents or you can serve her in Arizona. If you want to file here and would like assistance, for a flat fee of $495 we will prepare all of the required documents and agreements for you, and help make sure that the case gets done as fast as possible, and we can help you avoid having to appear in court at all. Let us know if we can be of help (everything can be done by phone, email and fax, by the way). I hope this helps.
