Abigail, the other parent must be served to notify him/her of the scheduled hearing. Where to find him? Try his work place, his friends contacts, his social media status, apps, if all that fails, you can try to hire a private investigator to locate him (this may cost a lot of money ($300/hour) but if you truly can’t find him, on your scheduled hearing ask the judge to serve him by other means and move your case forward that way.
