Why is it taking so long to serve the non-custodial parent?
In many cases, a non-custodial parent must be personally served with legal documents. This means that a sheriff’s deputy or other process server must hand the documents to the non-custodial parent. In some cases, the sheriff’s deputy or other process server can leave the documents at the non-custodial parent’s residence, but the documents must be left with a person who lives there and is at least 14 years old. In some cases, the non-custodial parent will avoid being served or he/she may move frequently, making it difficult to locate him/her for service.
