Like we are playing doubles in a Tennis game and one of the player from the other side to whom i am sending or serving the ball too stands outside the court, not the one rcving the serve but his partner, is he aloud to stand outside the line/court. Thanks

The other team, and your partner, can stand anywhere. That is, as long as they dont cross the net. They could be right next to the fence or "Hiding" behind the net, as long as they dont touch or cross the net.

The players on the receiving team can stand anywhere. For example, the non-receiving player on the receiving team can stand in the service box, and it is still legal (assuming they are not hit with the serve). The only thing that matters is that the appropriate player returns the serve each point.
The only things that are not allowed during return of serve are actions that are distracting to the server: making noise, excessive movement, etc.

As far as I know the receiving players partner may stand where ever he wants to on his side of the court.
During the Davis cup final between Russia and Argentina, the receiving players were a lot of times both standing behind the baseline...
