How to Serve a Suit on a Hiding Defendant

Alternate service works best against a defendant who’s hiding from the process server, not one who has moved to parts unknown. If the defendant no longer resides or does business at the address you’ve listed on the summons, skip trace him or her before seeking an order for alternate service.
