Then the judge normally finds you guilty and you can get tried for contempt of court (that second doesn't always happen). If you plan on anything besides a terminal disease, make it to that court date. They really don't view your snubbing them well.

A creditor is suing me but the summons was returned unserved. Can they still have court date Florida?

No, the case can not continue until you have been legally served. When it is returned as unserved, the case effectively ends unless they issue an alias summons (i.e. additional attempt to serve you). What this also means is that the summons was returned to the court, and was not successfully served, therefore no process server has a copy to potentially serve you later UNLESS an alias summons is issued to try a second time to serve you. It is wise to keep watch to make sure this does not occur.

What if i cant find my husband to serve papers can i still get a divorce?

Yes. If you have made and documented every effort to locate your husband and cannot find him you can get permission from the court to publish a "motion to serve" in the newspaper. If you still can't get his attention to serve him with divorce papers within 60 days, you'll go back to get a new summons and additional time. It is pretty much up to the judge from that point forward.
