What to do if I want to file for divorce but my husband is not co-operating?
I’m trying to file for an uncontested divorce. I married in another state but have lived here for 6 months. My husband is not cooperating on signing and is now moving to out of state and I have no way of contacting him.

If you have lived in Florida for six months you may file even if your husband has moved out of state. He still must be served but a lawyer can do that for you. If he cannot be located you can still serve him by publication. Again, a lawyer can do that for you.
