My husband and I married in 2004 and separated later that year. Initially I couldn't afford to start divorce proceedings so things stayed as they were. In 2006 I filed for divorce filing everything in myself. My husband didn't respond and I couldn't afford a bailiff to serve him the papers. I basically forgot about being married. Now I have met someone and we have a baby. I want to get divorced but I no longer have a marriage certificate or any idea where my husband is. I haven't seen or heard of him in 7 years. I'm pretty broke so getting a solicitor is pretty much out of the question. Can anyone advise is there a simple way to divorce now that we have been separated for so long? Can I do this without my husband as I don't know where he is? TIA if you can help.
