Q: I am trying to see if a summons can be mailed or left at someone's residence. I have a family offense petition being served OUT OF NYS. I do not want to put my friends or family in that position if I do not have to - can it be sent by mail or are there any other ways to serve the summons? If it was in NYS, a sheriff could do it, but I don't seem to have that luxury.
A: David's Answer: You must first attempt to serve it personally. Thus, you may hire a process server - I suggest you consult the website www.napps.com to find a server in that area. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
