Does this adverse possession apply to divorced couples? Divoced since 1973 and one party cannot be located; have tried locating through a lawyer and the courts with no luck. Have been paying taxes on property since 1973.

Since you've gone through that legal process, you can show a Judge your efforts, and ask her to remove your ex from Title. I'm wondering why the Lawyer you used didn't recommend it at that time.

well raymond, not all lawyers are expert in all fields (including, i suppose, their own). that might explain it (a little). i agree, though...go back to the divorce court and see how you can best arrive at a conclusion for yourself.
