    If your spouse is incapacitated or not of 'sound mind', he/she would need a conservator in order for you to initiate divorce proceedings. Usually a family member will agree to be a conservator over the spouse. This can occur if the spouse has dementia or alzheimer's disease and therefore cannot enter into a legal contract such as divorce. The conservator would represent the best interests of your spouse.

    Whoops, I just saw you live in Australia. I gave you the USA law.

    indeed check your local laws as well..
