You will have to arrange to have every relative served in person with the documents. It is
up to you to make sure that all of the relatives are served with the Order Shortening Time.
Pick Up & File the Signed Order Shortening Time at the Clerk’s Office.
Make Copies of the Order Shortening Time.
Make enough copies so you have one for each relative who must be served.
Have the Relatives PERSONALLY Served.
All of the relatives must be personally served with the Order Shortening Time. You
cannot serve them – you must have someone over the age of 18 who is not involved in
the case serve the documents.
Have your server complete the Affidavit of Service.
The person who served the documents will need to complete the form. This form tells
the judge when and where each person was served. An Affidavit of Service must be filed
for each relative served. You may need to make additional copies of this form so one can
be completed for each relative served.
File the Affidavit of Service.
If the Affidavit of Service is not filed, the judge may not be able to hear your case.
Attend the Hearing.
Bring the Affidavits of Service with you in case the judge needs to verify that each
relative was properly served.
Your hearing will take place on the originally scheduled date. You will still need to mail (by
certified mail) a copy of the Petition and the Citation/Notice of Hearing to all of the relatives
who are entitled to notice. Attend the hearing on the originally scheduled date.
