Service by Publication Question

What are you aiming to achieve with attacking the divorce? Or are you worried about your divorce being attacked?

concerned the the divorce could be attacked.

If the service by publication is done in accordance with the statute, it will not be overturned on the basis of inadequate service.

Is there any way to overturn a divorce if the complaint was served by publication? Both the service by certied mail and sheriff were returned as not delivered/served. The service by publication was done only after those two methods failed. BTW, the certified mail and sheriff were done serially, not at the same time.
