RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Should I file a missing person's report for my spouse? (lemmy.world)

We’ve been separated for over seven years, but we are still legally married. I have been filing taxes separately since then. This year, I sent a message to his VOIP phone number to ask if he was able to file his own taxes this year. He didn’t respond to me, and I let it go. I didn’t want to bother him, and assumed he ignored my message. I haven’t heard from him since. No one has seen him, or heard from him in years. His friends began answering his emails for him, as some kind of joke, so emails I have received over the years were all from them. I assumed he told them to email me and message me in the past, with messages he intended for me to receive.

Should I file a missing person’s report for him?

That really depends on the state you're trying to divorce in.

Which states do not allow divorce in absentia, and how do they handle abandonment differently?
