The impression I got from your earlier situation is that your husband likes to buck authority. IIRC, he's been dodging collections people trying to repo his truck, he was playing games with you trying to serve him divorce papers, and more.

I would say that now is the time to go dark. No contact. Start making plans for how you are going to live your life without him.

If he complains, then tell him plainly that you are tired of the game-playing. He has two choices -- straighten up and be a man for you and for his kids, or get divorced.

IANAL but when we discussed this before, we figured out that may not have to actually be handed the papers in order to be served; there may be options such as having them delivered to a known residence. Courts are generally smarter than idiots who think they can run away from process servers.

It will be the time for him to decide what he wants once you really, really drop the rope.
