thank you sir for replying , please tell me even if i send them through this and if they dont receive then what will happen , because in return of summons the reason they have written is no one is at home but they stay there only , i dont know how they have managed this ,

if they are not receiving the summons then move an application before the court seeking permission for publishing the notice in the news paper , after publishing the notice if opponent party didn't attend the court proceeding on the decided date then you can request the court for exparte decree .you need not have to change the lawyer your case will not dismissed .

the case wont be dismissed because of the reason that the other side is not appearing.whatever might be the reason the court due to non appearance of the other party will pass a exparte divorce in your favour.if they appear sometime during any of the proceedings they can revoke the proceedings after giving reasons for not appearing.

If the summons are served upon the respondent, then the court may order fresh notice to respondent.  Upon this also if the summons are not being served, the court may ask the petitioner to take steps for service of sum on through substituted service of summon.  In that the summons will be served through a publication in the local newspaper, if the respondent choose to not to attend the court even after this, the court will decide the case in the absence of respondent and an exparte divorce decree will be made.
