He was required to leave his address with the court that granted him custody, You can file for custody and/or visitation with that court and have him served at the address on record there. If he is hiding and after you make reasonable efforts to find him, you can have him served by publication with the approval of the court. He may be in violation of the visitation orders, which is a crime.
