Re: serving paper oversea
yes there are many ways to obtain service, even overseas. You didnt mention if your husband was a US citizen or citizen of another country. If you know where he is, you can try service by certified mail or ask the court for substitute service by either serving someone he lives with or his parents or family here in the US if he keeps in contact with them. Finally, there is always private service if you can find him overseas. Good luck
