If he cannot be found Florida allows "Service of Process by Publication". This is a complicated process and I never recommend a citizen try this without an attorney.
The home may be awarded as part of the dissolution of marriage, the Husband signs nothing.
You must start a divorce proceeding and seek all relief therein.
