You can still get divorced. He still must be served with a Summons for an Action for Divorce. If is VERY important that you check with the foreign jurisdiction where he lives to find out their process serving procedure, otherwise it may be considered improper service. After being served, he has 20 days to respond. If he doesn't, you can just continue the process, submit the proper paperwork to the court, and get divorced.
