Rhode Island Waiver of Service of Summons is a document that allows a defendant to waive their right to be served with a summons and complaint in a civil lawsuit. This waiver allows a defendant to voluntarily admit to the lawsuit and saves the plaintiff time and money. There are two types of Rhode Island Waiver of Service of Summons. The first type is an Uncontested Waiver of Service of Summons, which is an agreement between the plaintiff and defendant that waives the requirement of service of summons. The second type is a Contested Waiver of Service of Summons, which requires the defendant to file a response to the summons and complaint in order to dispute the allegations of the complaint.
