How can I serve order to appear papers to some one where I don’t know where they are?
I filed for emergency custody of my children. I was awarded the temporary order.
Now I have to serve my soon to be ex but I don’t know where he is. There was a
missing person report filed on the 27th but he was found at a house the same day.
Since then I have not heard from him and he is no longer at that house. I have a
court date set for the 14th and he has to take a drug test before then.

It would be advisable to have a process server do a skip trace to locate and serve your soon-to-be-ex.
You can find process servers in the Yellow Pages or online under attorney services. The skip trace is an effective method for locating a missing person.
