Ever since the initial divorce petition was posted to her, she has stopped accepting any recorded/registered mail (i've tried sending cards), and her sister denies that she lives there.My solicitor says that in-order to apply for decree nisi, we need to ascertain that she still lives at her sisters' place because she hasn't responded to the petition! I've hit a wall with her family and they won't tell me where she is? What doI do with regards to finding out where she is? My solicitor says that I should knock on the door but she's 200 miles from me and I really don't want to see her (she and her sister were abusive). What are my alternatives? Can I just tell the solicitor that I've knocked and can confirm that she still lives with her sister, purely to obtain the divorce?Many thanks

You can't do a thing in terms of lying, because you need her signature, and I'm pretty sure you need her to be present at certain hearings. For whatever reason, your wife has decided to disappear (she probably doesn't want the divorce). Your only option is to either go up there and spy, or get a private detective. You can't just lie. If it was that simple, people would do it all the time. Best of luck to you though, as you sound like you've been a bit screwed by your wife and her family.
