Wife left 16 years ago, lives in South Korea. How do I get a divorce?

If you lived with her in the U.S., you can probably file in the jurisdiction where you resided with her. For instance, if you resided in Cuyahoga County, you could file in the Domestic Relations Division there. There are a number of agencies that will assist you in obtaining service if you know where she is in Korea. If you do not, you can seek to perfect service by publication. Even if you cannot obtain service, you can terminate the marriage itself.
