Substituted service is a legal method used when a person cannot be personally served despite reasonable efforts.
In family law, courts may allow you to serve papers via email, social media, or through another individual.
You must first show that you’ve tried to find and serve the person in the usual way.
A process server’s statement of service attempts is commonly used as evidence.
If approved, you must follow the court’s instructions exactly.
We can assist with collecting evidence and applying for substituted service where needed.
