So how does the process work to serve divorce papers?

Let me say this. We will only work for you if you have a solicitor and on the understanding that you pay us.

The address of your absent spouse will only be passed on to your solicitor and not directly to you. This is to protect both parties involved.

If that’s not ok then our service is not for you. We pride ourselves on providing a service that is beneficial to all people involved. If you are representing yourself then we can’t help you. For more information about how our service works visit our how we work page.

So all that happens is that we have a chat with you, get the last details you had about your spouse, their name, age (doesn’t have to be exact) and their last known whereabouts. To be honest all the information we need to be able to trace them will be on your marriage certificate so we can use that if needed.

We’ll then launch a search to find them and locate where they are. That usually takes between 2 and 60 days depending on how far they have moved.

As well as what information we need to find out to make finding them possible. Once we’ve found them we’ll release the information to your solicitor.

The solicitor can make that initial contact with your ex-spouse. By then you can hopefully both get the closure you are looking for. I suspect that it will be a potentially emotional time for you and for them.

The shows that it’s best to use us and your solicitor to take that emotion out of it.

So to answer the question How to serve divorce papers without an address in the UK, you use us and your solicitors.

What else should I know

Now to go back to that last question, how to divorce someone who lives in another country. Well, that’s easy too. Over the last ten years, we’ve built up a team of external researchers all over the world. This means that we can find people in most countries. If you suspect your ex-partner has moved to another country. We can search the last known country first and try and find evidence of a move or if you know the correct country we can instruct one of our team to search there.

Whatever the situation, as long as you prepare to use a solicitor to make the initial contact we can find them for you to serve divorce papers.
