You should send the completed summons to the clerk so it is on file with the court that your ex was served. I would recommend taking a copy of the documentation in the event that court misplaces any of it.

Make a copy of the summons for your own records.
Then you can either bring it into the court in person or you can mail it in. If you mail it in, just make sure to have a cover letter telling them to file it with your docket number.
