This strategic approach increases the likelihood of personally serving your documents during times when the intended recipient is more likely to be present at their residence or workplace.

A Process Server is a person who may personally serve Court documents and any other documents on other individuals or corporations. To become a Process Server, you must obtain the appropriate license from the State in which you wish to serve Court documents. This process includes relevant criminal history and identity checks.
An affidavit is a written statement which gives evidence. An affidavit is essentially a written version of oral testimony that may be given at hearing or trial in Court. An affidavit must be sworn or affirmed by the person providing the affidavit and witnessed by a qualified witness, such as a Justice of the Peace or a Solicitor.
Substituted service is an order from the Court that may be sought by a party so that Court documents may be served on another party by a means other than the prescribed means of service.
We often have clients who are worried that their ex-partner will not accept service of divorce documents. Do not worry. To effectively serve divorce documents, the server must identify the recipient and either hand the documents to the recipient or, if the recipient refuses to accept the documents, putting the documents down on the ground in the presence of the recipient and telling the recipient what the documents are.
If you have taken all reasonable steps to attempt service of divorce documents in accordance with the Family Law Rules 2004 (Cth) and you are unable to serve the documents, you may make an application to the Court for substituted service. This means that you may apply to the Court for an order that the documents be served in some other way which will satisfy the Court that the documents will be brought to the person’s attention, such as by email, fax, post or text message.
