If I recently filed for divorce but my wife will not disclose her address so I can have her served, what can I do?
I’m trying to avoid the publication route due to finances. She also has an active facebook account and yahoo mail.

Unless you can find out her address you may have no choice about the publication route. It may be wither that or hiring a private investigator which could be even more expensive. There are certain companies that locate through various means but again, they cost money. You could not get in to her yahoo or facebook account with out a court order. But you could serve her at her place of employment in most states. Do you know where she works? Good luck.
