Title: Approved Statewide Forms — Divorce, Child Support & Maintenance
Heading: Service-of-process forms (summons, sheriff, special process server)

Shared divorce forms used to serve the other spouse include the 'Divorce Summons', the 'Letter to the Sheriff (Serving a Summons and Forms)', the 'Letter to the Special Process Server', and 'How to Serve a Summons' instructions. In most cases you file a general summons so the sheriff (or an appointed special process server) can deliver notice to the respondent.
