A defendant may object to lack of jurisdiction over the person because of defects in the form or contents of process or in the service of the process by a Motion to Quash or a motion or set aside the process or service of the process. The defense of insufficiency of process or insufficiency of service of process may, at the option of the pleader, be raised either in the responsive pleading or by motion. A motion making these defenses must be made before pleading (e.g., answering the complaint).
