Not unless he lives there. You need a process server or private investigator to try to find him before that may even be a possibility.

Petitions for divorce must be personally served. If you cannot locate him, you will need to obtain an order from the court to serve him by publication. If you are able to locate him but do not know where he lives, he can be personally served anywhere in California. For example, if you know he is going to visit his parents, you can have him served there.

Only if he lives there or that was his last place of residence in California to the best of your knowledge. Otherwise, you have to serve him by publication.

You can try to have him personally served with the initiating divorce documents there but if you can't find him you may have to file a request with the court to all him to be served by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the community of his last known residence Good luck
