Can I serve divorce papers to my husbands lawyer or do I have to serve him personally?

The Rules of Domestic Relations Procedure require that yoru husband be served personally. The alternative is if he will accept service. You may do that by contacting his lawyer and asking his lawyer if his lawyer will accept service on your husband's behalf. If that is the case, you can send the summons and complaint to your husband's lawyer, and your husband will sign the acceptance of service on the summons, which will also have to be notarized. Good luck!

You should either have a sheriff or constable serve the divorce papers on your husband. If you know your husband will sign the summons, you can just mail or give the papers to your husband, but he must sign the section of the summons that says he got the papers. If he agrees to sign, he will have to sign the summons in front of a notary public so it is notarized. Best of luck.

Call the lawyer and see if the lawyer will accept it. henry lebensbaum esq 300 Brickstone Sq Ste 201 andover, ma -- [email protected] (978) 749-3606.

You will need to have your husband served personally. It goes without saying that, since your husband has retained counsel, you may do much better in this case if you have counsel.

I agree with the other attorneys if you want to file a separate action for divorce. However, you have another option. Instead of a separate action, you can file an answer with a counterclaim for divorce. This is served by mail on the attorney. Furthermore, there is no filing fee.

Hi You have to serve the sumons and copy of the complaint on your husband. You may call your husband's lawyer to see if he will accept the summons and have your husband sign it without need for a constable. However, you cannot have the papers served on the lawyer. Good luck. Steve Coren
