Maintenance case while spouse in canada


15-Oct-2024 (In Divorce Law)
My spouse lives in Canada and we have filled a maintenance case against him. Court has issued a summon. How will court reach to him? Because I know he will not come in the court, as the summon does not matter to him nor his family living in India. We belong to Sikh family.
