Dear Sir/Madam,
You have obtained a Family Court summons or other court document which
directs the other party to either answer or appear in court on a specific date
and are now in the process of filing with the Sheriff for service.
In order for the Sheriff to attempt service, you must provide an address
where the Defendant/Respondent can be found during regular business
hours and your filing must allow ample time for service.
Most Family Court papers must be served at least eight (8) days prior to the
date set for appearance in court. You must file all papers beari ng a date
of appearance at least three weeks prior to that date, as the Sheriff may not
be able to make contact with the Defendant/Respondent on the first
attempt.
Be advised that the Sheriff can never guarantee service, even if all infor-
mation is accurate and filing is timely. FILING FEES ARE NON-REFUND-
ABLE.
I understand that the Sheriff does not guarantee service and that the filing
fees are non refundable. I have been advised of the suggested time frame
for dated process and it is my responsibility to provide the Sheriff with infor-
mation about the Defendant/Respondent whereabouts during regular busi-
ness hours.
