What happens if the respondent spouse cannot be found or evades service of process?
If the respondent cannot be found, sometimes “substituted service” will be sufficient to allow the court to act on the status of the parties and enter certain divorce judgments. “Due process” requires lawful service on the respondent before his or her custody, support and property rights can be adjudicated.
