( CNN ) Facebook may soon need to add `` Just got served divorce papers '' to its list of relationship statuses now that a New York judge has said the social media site is an acceptable way for a Brooklyn woman to serve her husband with a summons for divorce . Ellanora Arthur Baidoo has been trying to divorce her husband for several years , according to her attorney , Andrew Spinnell . But , Spinnell said , he and his client have n't been able to find Victor Sena Blood-Dzraku to serve him the papers . Baidoo has been able to reach her husband by phone and `` he has told her that he has no fixed address and no place of employment , '' according to court documents . `` He has also refused to make himself available to be served , '' the document said . After exhausting other ways of serving him the papers , Spinnell filed an application asking for `` service by alternate means , '' in this case , via social media . In his decision , Justice Matthew Cooper said the `` advent and ascendency of social media , '' means sites like Facebook and Twitter are the `` next frontier '' as `` forums through which a summons can be delivered . '' Before Cooper agreed to her using Facebook , Baidoo had to prove the Facebook account belongs to her husband , and that he consistently logs on to the account and would therefore see the summons . Spinnell said Baidoo 's marriage to Blood-Dzraku began to unravel shortly after they married in 2009 because her husband refused to participate in a Ghanian wedding ceremony that would include both their families . The couple never lived together , according to court documents . `` She 's not asking for any money , '' Spinnell said , `` She just wants to move on with her life and get a divorce . '' Spinnell said he has contacted Blood-Dzraku twice on Facebook , but has yet to hear back . If Blood-Dzraku refuses the summons , Spinnell said the judge can move forward with a `` divorce by default '' for his client . Blood-Dzraku could not be reached for comment .
