Delivery of Summons/Service

Answer:  No. The person filing for divorce must have someone 18 years or older personally deliver the summons, petition, and any other papers filed with the court, along with a blank response form, to his or her spouse. If the spouse cannot be located, the judge may approve a different way to notify the person that a court case has been opened.  These issues should be addressed with an attorney.
