Question

then what does the court do?/

Answer 1

On application to permit alternative service by publishing a notice in local newspaper (of respondent's area), the court orders it. On such publication giving sufficient time for appearance before the court, the court orders that the service of summons is sufficient and proceeds to hear exparte.

Answer 2

See if the first summon is served by the court then the opposite party should come to the court without fail for the first earring

if court summons is returned because of wrong address, then whoever file the case has given the false address, if it is the correct address and the person is not available in that address(escaped) means the party whoever files the suit will be in favour and he/she will get the divorce easily without any problem.

if u have more doubt pls consult the lawyer that will be better.

Answer 3

If you mean you can not serve the spouse, then it is possible to continue by claiming the spouse has fled and can not be found. You can show that they can not be located for service. You need to prove that no one knows their location. Place notice in newspaper, etc. If you are talking about a witness, then that is not much of a problem. In civil court there is a maximum distance for service, meaning that if they live outside this area they can not be compelled to return to testify. In Texas it is 150 miles.
