I am separated from my non-Jewish wife, who has returned to the Ukraine. We married in a civil ceremony outside of Israel. She lives with relatives whose address I know. Can I divorce her from Israel ?

Yes ! As part of the dissolution of marriage process you can apply to serve her with all documents in the proceedings at her relative's address in the Ukraine. If she co-operates, the process is simplified, as mutual consent is sufficient grounds for ending a 'mixed' religious marriage. If she does not consent, you will have to prove grounds, according to the divorce laws wherever you got married abroad.
