Dear javaking66:
Greetings. You are not supposed to use service by publication until you have exhausted all other methods, so I would tell you no. Best of luck.

I agree and that is why I will be sending the certified mail. And if he does not accept it, I will try again to send the certified mail. if he does not accept it again then I will pursue the publication route. But if I do all this one after one another it will atleast 2 weeks before I will be able to put in the newspaper.
If I do it parellely then by the end of 2 weeks I would already carried the ad. in newspaper twice and I will have to only wait for 1 week. And in the meanwhile if he accepts the certified i will totally drop the idea of taking the publication route.
Does it make sense? Did I confuse you?
Dear javaking66:
Greetings. Just because you don’t like my answer does not mean that I am confused. No, you must FIRST exhaust the other methods of service - certified mail and service by Sheriff - BEFORE you serve by publication. Service by publication is a last resort. Just because you want this to go faster does not mean that you can bend the rules to make it go faster.
Now, all that may sound harsh, but the bottom line is that you want to do it right the first time. Best of luck…and stop worrying, I am sure you will be divorced soon enough!

Is it ok if I run the ad in newspaper and send the certified mail simultaneously to my husband to serve the summons.
This way I can save some time if the I am not able to serve him via certified mail. As I would have already ran the ad. in newspaper I will be able to save some time of the 3 weeks requirement for Service via Publication.
