Can my new address/whereabouts be hidden/with-held from husband in divorce process?

Just that really.
I'd like to get the ball rolling on divorcing my estranged husband. We've been apart for over 5 years. I fled with our baby following months of DV. The police helped us get away and they put flags on our new address due to the level of risk posed to us.
Question is, if I start divorce proceedings, how do I keep my current address/whereabouts hidden from him? I'm aware papers will needs to be served on him. He's abroad back in his native country after I revoked sponsorship of his UK spouse visa. No idea of his current address and don't want him to know mine (for safety reasons).
Is this possible? I have plenty of police and court paperwork to confirm the DV and serious risk that he posed in terms of threatening to abduct our baby out of the UK.

Yes. He also doesn't need to have anything served after 5 years for the divorce to go ahead. They will probably try but it's not necessary.

Do you have a lawyer? If not get some legal advice, if nothing else Women's Aid should be able to advise and set your mind at rest

I believe you can use a c/o address, such as a friend or family member. The more expensive option is to instruct a solicitor and use their address for service.

How are you going to serve him if you don’t know where he is? Is email service a thing now?

Thanks for the replies.
Not sure how they'd serve him.. I presume they would use the last known address for him? It's the address of his parents, but no idea if they still live there or not. It's at least 10 years since I was over there for a visit.
