Does anyone know how to get someone served in DC? |
|
I found a service online, but they want $100. If I have to pay that, I guess I can, but I'd love to find something more reasonable.

1. Are you talking about a process server? |
|
I believe many states allow you to self-serve divorce and small-claims documents. (I don't know about DC, or about whether DIY process service is a good idea for your case.)

2. Yes, process server... but I don't live in DC |
|
Flying or driving down there is likely to cost me even more than the $98 charged by the online company I found.

There are gazillions of process servers in the DC area.
Is this a business issue? Personal?

It's for a modification for my child support order. I'm looking to collect post-majority support as my son will turn 18 a full 10 months before he graduates from high school. The state I live in allows me to collect until my son is finished with college or until he's 23, which ever comes first.

8. I'm not sure if DC has a Sherriff's dept., but . . . |
|
Normally a Sherriff or Constable can serve papers like those you described and they don't charge that much.

10. DC Police, or even Fed. Marshalls |
|
Even if they don't know, they could tell you.

court reporting firms. Alot of times they have process servers. Your cheapest bet would be the constable's office though.
