Improper Divorce Service Challenge
Summary
In Washington, divorce papers must be served by someone who is not a party to the case. If the server is related to the petitioner, it may be a conflict of interest. To challenge this, file a Motion to Quash Service of Process with the court, detailing the improper service and attaching evidence. Consider seeking legal advice for assistance with the process.Full Conversation
