FAQ
The parties involved cannot formally serve divorce papers because they clearly have an interest in the outcome of the litigation, and hence are not to be trusted with a procedural pre-requisite such as service. Also, in a lot of states, only law enforcement or licensed process servers can serve documents.
Can I serve divorce papers myself? No. Only a non-party to the case who is over the age of 18 can serve divorce papers under Washington law.
Uncontested divorces take anywhere from two months to a year. The main things delaying an uncontested divorce are the planning and the court's calendar.
Someone age 18 or older besides you must hand deliver the papers to the other party, or to someone old enough living at their home. The person who delivers the papers is your "server." You do not need court permission for personal service.
Service of summons and process, except when service is by publication, shall be by the sheriff of the county wherein the service is made, or by the sheriff's deputy, or by any person over 18 years of age who is competent to be a witness in the action, other than a party.
For most counties, these are the necessary documents: Petition for Dissolution of Marriage/Civil Union. Financial Affidavit. Proof of Service/Delivery. Response to Petition. Summons. Certification Agreement. Judgment of Dissolution.
Yes. You need your final divorce order. Each court is different. However, today, most judges simply sign them. The ``stamp'' will be the automatically-generated docket information appearing on each page when the court, your attorney, or even you, file something electronically in the court's record/docket.
Certified copies are available from the circuit court clerk in the county where the dissolution of marriage was granted.
