You may have to file Notice by publication.

This should be fairly inexpensive for most attorneys to help you with.

Citation by publication is the best route if you want the divorce immediately. You will have the filing fee for the divorce, the cost of isuing a citation and the cost of the newspaper that prints the citation. If all of the children that you and your husband had during the marriage were over 18 years of age and if you have no community property to divide you could simply have the Sheriff post the citation on the courthouse door and then take the divorce. This is less expensive but would require waiting for about 2 years to seek the divorce.
