How can you proceed with a civil suit with only one side present? It greatly depends on how the judge views the situation. If you filed a civil suit BUT NEVER SERVED THE RESPONDANT just how did you expect the respondant to know about the case and show up in court. On the day of the case when you, your attorney and the judge show up - the judge may well consider that you abused not only HIS time but the court's time as well, he quite possibly MIGHT find you in contempt of court and fine you.

if a petition for visitation was filed a hearing was held but the respondent avoided being served and the law master gave the petitioner 120 days to locate her how does the petitioner get the process server to reserve the respondent ?
If the respondent does not want to be served, it is really not up to the petitioner to locate him. What the court wants is a concerted effort in locating the respondent so that later the respondent cannot say that no effort was made. Keep a journal of your efforts to show the court. Make an entry for every phone call, every address check, every mutual friend you talk to, every possible employer you contact, etc. You can relay this information then to the court as you learn about the individual's whereabouts, but it probably will not result in the individual being served.
