You will need to prove that you exercised due diligence in having him served with the summons for divorce. If you are unable to do so the court may permit you to serve him by publication or some other means. You will probably need an attorney in order to do this motion to the court.

You will likely need to do a divorce by publication. This a complicated and expensive process, and you probably should have a lawyer help you. http://www.nycdivorcecenter.com
