Re: waived my right once

Until entry of the judgment, mailing by regular mail is good enough for motions, etc. After entry of the judgment, mailing is good enough for motions normally, unless there is what is known as a "show cause" where you have to appear to show cause why you should not be held in contemt or something like that. In that event, personal service is usually required. However, the judge has discretion to enter an order allowing service by substituted means if there is good reason to believe that you will be given actual notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard.
