Serving Proof of Service
I am a plaintiff in pro per. I am making the first amendment of my complaint and filing it with the superior court in a civil case lawsuit.
Is my wife legally allowed to serve the papers by mail? The lawsuit is between me v. the defendants. So, my wife's name does not appear on my complaint and summons
Thank you for clarification.
Re: Serving Proof of Service
Yes, your wife can do the service of process. Whether service by mail is proper depends upon whether the parties being served have previously been served. If you are adding parties, they must be served with the summons and amended complaint in person or by another method approved for service of the original summons and complaint.
