FacebooklogoYou can do more and more via Facebook these days, but the social media giant can officially add one more thing to its list — filing papers for divorce.

According to this story in the New York Daily News, a Manhattan judge has given a woman permission to serve her husband divorce papers via Facebook.

Apparently, the hard-to-track-down hubbie has proven nearly impossible to find, at least in the real world. The woman, 26-year-old Ellanora Baidoo, and her lawyer have tried multiple ways to get a hold of the husband, Victor Sean Blood-Dzraku, including by phone. But he has told them that he has no physical address and no job. The “post office has no forwarding address for him, there is no billing address linked to his prepaid cell phone, and the Department of Motor Vehicles has no record of him,” the NY Daily News reports the ruling states.

In what is being called a “landmark ruling,” the judge cleared the way for them to send the papers via Facebook. The results to find the guy have been just as effective as the rest. They sent the first message last week. Baidoo’s lawyer reports, “So far, he hasn’t responded.”

Good luck with that.
