What is a Process Server?

Family Law, Divorce

& Matters Relating to Children

We are specialists in the serving of Family Law Orders, Divorce Orders, Final Orders, Children Recovery Orders and more. We can also serve documents for County, Federal and Supreme Courts and VCAT Applications.

Document service is controlled by State Legislation and while it is different in each state, the general concept remains the same.

1. Documents are mainly served by handing them to the person or leaving it at a specified place.
2. An affidavit is completed, detailing how the matter was served or an affidavit of attempted service detailing how many attempts were made to effect service, or the file is returned unserved.
3. Some Federal documents may be served by anyone but it is recommended that you use a professional process server (for Divorce papers, for example).

Most court documents have a cut-off and must be served at least 7 days, 2 weeks, or 1 month before the hearing date. If the documents are not served by this time, an extension of time may be sought by the courts for a new court date to be set.

Family law divorce orders are to be served 28 days before the hearing date, so basically one month before.

Gotcha has a proven record to effect urgent to non-urgent matters, so yes…

“Gotcha Does Get’em”.
