Can't find other party to serve petition for an injunction for domestic violence.

Domestic Violence 7 views 3 answers
My daughter has been a victim of domestic violence and she went to the courts to file a petition for an injunction order. The service rep has not been able to serve him the petition and he's dodging the police because he also has a warrant for his arrest for this issue. What happens next ?

I believe that they will keep trying to serve him. In the meantime, the temporary order will remain in place (assuming that it was entered to begin with). The court date will keep getting pushed back.

The officer of the court will continue to attempt to serve him with the injunction. You can periodically check with the Clerk of Court to verify the status of the service. Your daughter needs to be careful not to have any contact with him because the provisions of the injunction are not enforceable until/unless he is properly served. I wish both of you the best of luck with this matter.
