Visitation Modification
If you are following a visitation schedule that is different from the one set forth in your Custody Judgment, it is important to enter a Court Order that reflects the actual schedule you are following. This can be done by agreement if you and your former spouse acknowledge and agree to continue following this modified schedule. It can also be accomplished by filing a Petition to Modify Visitation, wherein you can ask the Judge to enter a Court Order reflecting the modified schedule you have been following, if there is no agreement to do so.

If you have been separated from your spouse and have lost touch with him or her and don't know where they live, you can still get divorced. You will have to prove that you are unable to find your spouse - whether on your own or through mutual friends or family, and complete a publication process that will have to be provided to the judge.

The Court will then retain jurisdiction over the remaining issues.
