If my partner and his wife have been separted for 5 years, Does he need her to sign papers if they get divorced? She now lives in the USA and we dont know where

I think you can apply for a divorce if you can prove that you've either a) lived apart with consent for 2 years or b) lived apart for 5 years without consent. I guess that consent means a mutual agreement that both parties are aware off.

He can get divorced without her consent if they have been separated for 5 years. I think there is a procedure for doing this even if the ex cannot be located, but he needs advice from the County Court office or a solicitor on this.

The other half has to be notified and either sign the papers or have a court official serve the papers on them but it cannot be done without tracking them down I'm afraid
