A Pennsylvania Motion to Vacate or Nullify Divorce Decree obtained by Fraud, as a result of failing to serve the respondent at a known address, is a legal recourse available to individuals who believe that their divorce decree was fraudulently obtained due to improper service of process. This motion seeks to reverse or nullify the divorce decree on the grounds that the respondent was not properly notified or served with the necessary legal documents. In Pennsylvania, there can be different types of motions to vacate or nullify a divorce decree obtained by fraud due to failure to serve the respondent at a known address. Some of these variations include: 1. Motion to Vacate for Lack of Proper Service: This motion asserts that proper service of process was not carried out according to Pennsylvania law. It argues that the respondent was not effectively served with the required legal documents, resulting in a lack of jurisdiction for the court to grant a divorce decree. 2. Motion to Nullify based on Fraudulent Service: This motion alleges that the plaintiff intentionally provided false or misleading information regarding the respondent's known address or whereabouts during the divorce proceedings. It claims that this fraudulent service prevented the respondent from participating in the legal process, resulting in an unjust or invalid divorce decree. 3. Motion to Set Aside for Excusable Neglect: This motion argues that the respondent did not receive the necessary legal documents due to their own excusable neglect or inadvertence, and requests the court to set aside the divorce decree. It may involve providing evidence that the respondent had a valid reason for not receiving or responding to the divorce papers. To initiate a Motion to Vacate or Nullify Divorce Decree Obtained by Fraud as a Result of Failing to Serve Respondent at Known Address in Pennsylvania, the party seeking relief must draft a formal legal document that outlines the specific grounds for the motion, supported by evidence or affidavits. This motion must be filed with the court that issued the original divorce decree, and copies should be served on all other parties involved. It is important to note that the specific procedures and requirements for filing such a motion may vary depending on the individual circumstances and the county in Pennsylvania where the divorce decree was initially granted. It is advisable to consult with an experienced family law attorney familiar with Pennsylvania jurisdiction to ensure the motion is properly filed and supported.
