QUESTION: If I was present when my child support papers were served on someone else, is the service valid?
MY RESPONSE:
Your question is unclear, but I assume that you mean that papers were served to somebody over the age of 18 who lives in your home, apparently to accompish substitute service.
If that is the case, the server would also need to mail a copy of the papers to you at your home address.
Unless your matter is a rush to see who serves first, if you got the papers, whether served upon you personally or not, you could save a lot of money by just filing and serving a timely response.
I would recommend that you at least have a face to face consultation with an experienced Family Law Attorney to evaluate the case and service concerns and advise you as to your options and their costs, to assist in a determination of whether or how to respond.
