The laws of every state require some sort of service of process. If a defendant is unavailable to bes served personally, there is normally a provision for service by publication in the newspaper.

If you know where this might have occurred, you can check with the Clerk of the Family Court there to see if there is a divorce on record, and if so, what the docket says about service of process. If fraud was committed in connection wth service of process, it may be that the entire proceeding could be voided.

Your best course would be to consult an attorney in thea rea where the divorce action was filed, if you find that one was actually filed.
