How will he get served if he's in state prison?
Full Question:
Answer:
If the person you are serving is currently incarcerated you must obtain their inmate number. You can obtain this by calling the jail with the inmate’s social security number. You will need to have the inmate’s number on all necessary documents.
You should not serve an inmate by certified mail. The inmate will not be able to sign for the package and the court may find that the service was not valid.
You should serve by a sheriff or private process server. If you do not have the money to pay for this type of service you may want to have someone you know over the age of eighteen serve the papers.
If someone you know is planning on serving the inmate s/he must do the following things:
* call the prison to find out when visiting hours are
* go to the prison during visiting hours
* when the sheriff brings the server to meet with the prisoner the server must slide the papers to the prisoner and inform them that they have been served
* After the server has served the inmate s/he must complete an Affidavit of Service of Process
You must then file this affidavit with the court.
