Article 3 - Jurisdiction and Service, Appearance and Choice of Court
R316 - Service by Publication.

(b) Mailing to accompany publication in matrimonial actions. An order
for service of a summons by publication in a matrimonial action shall
also direct that on or before the first day of publication a copy of the
summons be mailed to the person to be served unless a place where such
person probably would receive mail cannot with due diligence be
ascertained and the court dispenses with such mailing. A notice of
publication shall be enclosed.
(c) Time of publication; when service complete. The first publication
of the summons shall be made within thirty days after the order is
granted. Service by publication is complete on the twenty-eighth day
after the day of first publication, except that in a matrimonial action
it is complete on the twenty-first day after the day of first
publication.
