D11 Alternate Service

Hi
i have applied for my DIY divorce on 08.04.2024

I am a male , uk citizen married to an Indian female , who is an UAE resident.
I have served the notice through post to her uae and indian addresses, which she did not accept. So I have applied for Alternate service through D11 form and the judge replied as below

"The applicant must provide evidence of recent use by the respondent of the email address identified.
Furthermore, service by this form of electronic communication must be a permitted method of service in the UAE where the respondent is said to be residing for service to be directed. Rule 6.43(3) Family Procedure Rules 2010 as amended refers.”

I have provided the proof of last email sent to her from MAY 2024. I am not in contact with her as we are in talking terms . Can you pls guide me how to go about . I am stuck as i am nearing my 20 week period for conditional offer

Regards
Venkat

Proof of emails sent is not proof of receipt. You would need to show the email address is in active use ie that she is responding to emails.
The judge has also asked for confirmation that the legal system in UAE accepts service of legal documents by email rather than by post or in person.
If you have addresses for her you may need to use a tracing agency or similar to confirm where she's living and a process server to serve the documents and provide proof it has been done.

Firstly , I have served my petition through royal mail tracked and signed for . She did not accept , deliberately by saying there is no such person . I have produced the receipts of royal mail delivery and returned envelops with return code . as a second option I requested for alternate service to send through active email
thanks

Ok so if you know for sure where she is, you can use a process server whose evidence will be accepted by the court if you cannot persuade the court that using email is an option.
