My husband keeps dodging the deputies who are trying to serve him summons to appear for divorce hearings. Delays. What can I do

My husband will not answer the door to receive summons and paperwork to proceed with divorce hearing. It has been delayed several months and I have to pay $60 each time to the deputies just to have them say they were unable to deliver the paperwork. What can I do? It is a cut and dry divorce. We were literally married and lived together for 5 days before I separated from him. No joint investments. No children.
