Avoid These Things When Serving Divorce Papers
Serving divorce papers is never a fun task. Emotions run high in these situations, and the recipient of a summons to court for divorce proceedings may be so upset that they project their anger on the messenger, which in this case is you. Mitigate the risks of serving an angry husband or wife by avoiding these things:
Aggressive tone or body language
When serving papers for adversarial proceedings, it is always best to approach the target calmly and in a non-threatening manner.

The Risk Process Servers Face
Process servers perform a necessary job for the efficient functioning of our criminal and civil justice systems. Without reliable service of process, we could not prove that parties in legal cases are notified to appear or produce evidence, effectively bringing the entire court system to a halt. However, not everyone appreciates the service process servers provide. Persons being served are often unwilling to receive the paperwork and react inappropriately. While watching people on Youtube freak out after being served can be humorous, there’s a dark side to the industry that those videos don’t depict. Process servers are regularly exposed to:
Assault
The most common type of assault process servers experience is verbal. Vulgar, offensive, and threatening language is often hurled at process servers by the party being served or even their friends and family members. While the misplaced anger usually ends with just verbal insults, escalations to physical violence is every process server’s fear. Continue reading

Ways to Become a Better Process Server
Process servers play an incredibly important job within our country’s legal system, but most people don’t realize what it takes to succeed in such a difficult role.
It is a law in all fifty states that a defendant involved in any lawsuit receives proper notice of the impending case, and it is largely the responsibility of process servers to deliver such notices in a legally recognized manner.
This means that process servers are very often the people who deliver bad, stressful, and unwanted news to countless Americans. Some recipients react with fear, others with desperation, and still some with violence and anger. Continue reading

Why a Process Server is Useful
When it comes to delivering legal documents regarding a case of importance to you or your business, you cannot leave the delivery to chance.
Sheriffs have historically been in charge of completing service of process. However, private process servers provide faster and more reliable service than any sheriff can offer while still attending to his many other responsibilities.
As you search for the right process server to handle your case, keep these important qualities in mind.
Process Servers are Experienced
You want to hire a process server who has widespread experience serving your local area and the country and even international locations. Don’t be tempted to save $50 or $100 by choosing an inexperienced server; the chances are that your papers won’t be delivered successfully or properly, and you’ll be wishing you had paid the extra money to alleviate the headaches that ineffective service caused. Continue reading
Important Tips to Serve Papers Safely
The courageous men and women who work as process servers gain a unique education throughout their careers, especially when serving recipients who are desperate to avoid service. Below is a compilation of lessons from process servers who have seen it all.
Never Turn Your Back
You wouldn’t turn your back on an opponent in a boxing match, and in some cases, the person you’re serving with papers may be just as aggressive! Protect yourself at all times by talking respectfully and interacting with the person you are serving, facing them directly, and keeping yourself at a safe distance. Even recipients who act cordially may be waiting for the opportunity to strike when you let down your guard.
The Recipient Doesn’t Have to Touch the Papers to Accept Them
Serving papers is often about the nuances. As soon as the recipient has been positively identified, and the papers presented, they are considered served whether the recipient holds them or not. Continue reading
