What do you mean by 'trying to server papers'? If he has
your address then that's where they should be delivered. Has
he sent them to your address? Have you refused to accept
delivery?

If you refuse to be served then yes, he can proceed without
you. If he hasn't sent the papers to you then he can attempt
to proceed but it won't get him very far. HE needs proof
that he attempted to serve you and without that proof...
