West Virginia Order of Publication is a legal process that is used to inform an individual that a court action is pending against them. It is typically used when the individual cannot be located or served in person. It is typically used in divorce and custody cases, adoption proceedings, and other civil litigation matters. There are two types of West Virginia Order of Publication: Form 1 and Form 2. Form 1 is used to inform an individual of a court action and to request the individual to respond within a specific time period. Form 2 is used to inform an individual of a pending court action and to publish a notice in a newspaper in the county where the action is pending. Both forms require the individual to file an answer to the complaint.
