What does a Process Server do in divorce?

A process server can play an important role in divorce proceedings by serving legal documents upon an uncooperative spouse or civil partner.

In cases where a party to a divorce or dissolution will not cooperate, a process server can serve copies of the court documents to the other party. Service can take place by either handing the documents directly to the other party, or leaving the documents with another competent adult at the respondent’s home address or workplace.

After serving the court documents, the process server will complete a proof of service document as evidence to the court that the respondent was properly served.
