Expert Advice When You Need It Most

I found a document my father was holding that was titled judgement of dissolution of marriage by publication...

What does this document mean? My mother was unaware of any divorce process going on. Can my father divorce my mother without her knowledge? Wouldnt she have to be present and sign also? the document was signed and stamped by a judge.

Please help. Thank you.

A spouse can get divorced by publication if they cannot locate the whereabouts of their spouse. If your father knew where you mother was living and that can be proved, you probably could vacate that dissolution of marriage. Call me if you would like to discuss it further.
