Facts

P has shown that it would be an exercise in futility to attempt alternative service methods provided for by CPLR 308. Both 'substitute service' and 'nail and mail' service require knowledge of the Blood Dzraku's (D) 'actual place of business, dwelling or usual place of abode.' P has been unsuccessful in obtaining either a business or home address for D, even though P has diligently sought that information. P has met her burden of demonstrating that it would be impracticable to attempt to serve D by either of these methods. P petitions the court for service by Facebook. P requests that this judicially-crafted method of service be designated the only means by which notice of the divorce action is given.
