If the Defendant agrees, he or she may sign a form stating that a copy of the Summons and Complaint for Divorce were received. If the Defendant agrees, the Defendant will fill out the Acknowledgment & Acceptance of Service form.
The Defendant must sign this document in front of a Notary.
Once the Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Service form is signed, take the original and two (2) copies of the signed form to the Clerk's office for filing. You should keep one copy for your records and provide the other copy to the Defendant. For more information, you should consult the packet of forms for Divorce (With Minor Children) - Plaintiff.
We have provided an example form with some extra hints and information to assist in the completion of the Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Service. Please see the File Attachment below.
