What I strongly advise you to do is hire an attorney who will handle the matter for you. Depending on the state there are often safeguards in place for situations like this. I an not admitted in CO so I cannot comment specifically on what they may be
Inability to find a person will not preclude a divorce and often once an attorney steps in they may have additional tools to research a persons whereabouts. Also if you send child support he must be picking it up somewhere. That should indicate his wherehabouts as well
