Dear Madam, You can file Divorce case now showing your husband's previous address and take newspaper advertisement and thus Court may decide whether to keep him ex-parte and proceed then you will be examined and ex-parte divorce decree may be granted. If you have correct Abroad address and email etc., then also you can proceed against him.
