Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Re: Being served correctly

If I understand your question, the ex-wife went to the judge and had the judgment modified. He did not know about it. If there are chidren involved, then the husband has the duty to notify the Friend of the Court of his address. If the wife used the listed address for notice, then at least she was okay on that issue. If it was what is known as a "show-cause", then those normally must be personally served unless a special order is obtained allowing service by tacking on a door, etc. From the info you have given, I do not know if that is the case. You probably should consult a lawyer. If the order uses a wrong name, it may be defective. However, that could easily be rectified and you are back to where you started. Also, it would be handy to know what was changed. William S. Stern
