What if the address of the former spouse is unknown?
Church law requires that the former spouse be contacted. However, if the former spouse’s address is unknown, it must be established that the petitioner has used reasonable means to ascertain his or her specific place of residence. It is left to the discretion of the judge to determine the adequacy of the petitioner’s efforts on a case-by-case basis. We also use the Internet to try to obtain information about a former spouse. If the former spouse’s whereabouts remains unknown, an advocate will be appointed to act on his or her behalf.
