Re: divorce

You will need to make a "diligent search" for him and attempt to have him served at any legitimate address you may find. There are specific rules about what a diligent search must include. If that is unsuccessful, you then move the court for an order permitting you to "serve" him by publication in a newspaper (you've seen the legal notices, at the backs of papers, right?).

Then you complete the process.
