Connecticut Restraining Order Process
Summary
In Connecticut, restraining orders are typically served by a state marshal, but alternative methods can be requested if accessibility issues arise. Judges can authorize alternative service methods, such as using a process server or email, if justified. The respondent generally needs to be served with evidence and notice of hearing at least three days before the hearing. If there are challenges with service, you can request a continuance or alternative methods from the judge. Lying under oath in civil court is considered perjury and can lead to criminal charges. Document all attempts to serve evidence and communicate with the court for support.Full Conversation

so a process server is allowed if judge orders? its impossible to get marshals on phone.Theyre unwilling and it seems unfair the marshall cant just get it from the clerk to deliver at the courthouse.she said i must be in person
In Connecticut, a judge can indeed order an alternative method for serving a restraining order, such as using a process server, if you present a valid reason. If accessibility is an issue, you might need to formally request this consideration from the court. Have you tried reaching out to legal aid for support on this matter?
theyre full but thats fine since my hearings in 2 days but can irder be emailed in pdf for process server to get from me or do they get it from clerk
Case Rating: *
In Connecticut, typically the clerk provides the order to the person requesting it, not directly to the process server. However, if the judge allows, you may be able to receive it in an alternative format, like email, for faster service. Consider reaching out to the court for clarification on the process.
