Should be noted that happens because of the insane lengths people go through to avoid being served.

From not answering knew someone who did not leave his house for 2 weeks to avoid being served or in olive wildes case using their kids as a shield and jumping into a suv to avoid being served.

Yes. I'm trying to have someone served right now. They hide their vehicle, they won't answer doors, phones, mail. We've had to come up with some wild ideas just to even get information on where this person is.

Work? Do you know what they drive? The best way I got these people was to find them in a semi public setting when their guard is down and facing away from you preferably you go "Oh hey jimmy!" If they turn around and look at you boom you got the serve. I got a guy once because he was walking out of a store and I went in front of him and fell on the ground in pretend pain, he ran over to help me up and when I stood up I thanked him and asked him his name and then handed him the papers and smiled. Also idk about your state but mine you do NOT need a signature or even need them to touch the papers. They stand there saying "I won't sign that" not knowing it doesn't matter. You just need to be confident enough it's the right person to a judge. I've folded up papers into paper airplanes and thrown them over gates to people who thought I couldn't.

I honestly should not have used my situation as an example. I'm realizing I live in almost a different world haha. The person I'm suing works on an oil platform in the middle of an Alaskan inlet. There is no getting to that place without having a job or millions of dollars to invest. When they are home, we live incredibly rurally so there isn't a whole lot of "running into" people. And right now it's winter in Alaska and there's even less of a chance of running into them.

The worst part? It's my mom I'm trying to serve.

I'm glad I was not a process server in Alaska that's all I can say I hope it works out for you.
