It is done now, the service had to be done 5 hrs away so it was done best they could while they were there. Served by placing documents on vehicle after they nodded and looked away while parked. I was told by a lawyer that dropping the documents at their feet if they refuse is sufficient service for this simple document, especially if the person serving them knows them well. I guess I will find out if this is sufficient at court time and if not maybe I will ask at that time if I can have alternate service given…family court is supposed to be somewhat forgiving. I assume a reply to the order would be an assumption of good service…but probably won’t happen.
The served person probably won’t show up to either appearance, hoping at least to get imputed income raised from minimum wage in 2015 to current minimum wage for child support. The person did not give their financial info for support purposes as per order back in 2015…maybe a fine or something will be ordered.
I have a court appearance with same person soon online to enforce or deal with an order not adhered to…I was allowed to serve that by email.

I am only a fan of that idea if it says in bold letters "service of court documents" and the person is seen reading that.
Some tips:
1. Do not get a relative to do it; it can heighten anxeity.
2. Definitely do not get a child of the marriage to do it; it is mean.
3. You are not allowed to do it yourself, you can be present but that feels hurtful to me.
4. Have a friend to do it. Have them itemize all the documents and count all the pages of each document, Titles and dates are required.
5. Have the person serving ensure the person knows they are being served. This means that they saw the front page or were verbally told that they were served.
6. The document has to be in their possession. Dropping it at their feet, handing it to them and them throwing it back before "knowing what it is" is not a sure.
7. If the person being served is being difficult go to the court for an alternate means of service.

Have someone else serve them. That way they wont know. You could even have that person have a bouquet of flowers to make it better lol.

Acceptable personal service methods
Does anyone know if personal service of documents on a person for a simple family matter in provincial court has to be dropped at their feet, or can you drop it on their roof or hood when they refuse to get out and accept them?Tags: None
