A: You will have to file a motion for alternative service if you cannot find her. Do you have her email address, one that she responds to when you email her? if so you could ask the court to order that service by electronic mail be deemed ok. you will need an affidavit from the sheriff that he/she failed to find your wife after a diligent search. There may be other options as well such as service by publication, which is a little expensive
