Wht to do if I ahave been waiting 10 months for my son’s father to be served?
Unfortunately, as he pays child support already to someone else, he knows how to avoid being served. His address and place of work has not changed, but he simply changed his mail to a PO box and refuses to answer the door when servers come around. I was told I have to wait till they can hand him the papers and that there was nothing else that could be done. This is going through my county child support office. Is there really nothing else I can do to get him served? He works in the field so is also impossible to catch at work. I can’t hire a private investigater and desperately need the money to help take care of my 10 month old.

One way to get the father of your child served with the process is to file with the court a petition to serve him by way of publication based upon the difficulty that you have been having with getting him served. Based upon what you have written, the court most likely will allow service by publication.
