You can get ex-parte divorce in that foreign court, if he wilfully refuses to attend the court.

Linda,

  As advised by other experts in this thread,

1. Send the notice to both the US and India address (if known)

2. Also check if you can send the notice through email at this corporate email id (if any)

3. If you do not get a reply, court may allow you to advertise the notice in daily newspapers in India.

4. If he still doesn't respond, you can get ex-partee divorce minus alimony.

As you know, or as your advocate/attorney in the U.S. ought to know, marriage and divorce are state subjects in the U.S. and laws are state-specific and can vary widely.  Therefore, if and how you can get divorce in the U.S., for a marriage which took place in India, will be based upon the laws prevailing in the applicable state in the U.S. Any advice given in the absence of knowledge of these laws and/or the jurisdictional venue would be half-baked.
