Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Papers Served in a Public Place

My ex-girlfriend served me child support papers outside in front of a library by her friend with her present. I thought a person can only be served at their Abode (home) or place of business and that if you are one the parties in the action, you can not be a part of the serving process. If any of this is true, should I do anything or go to court anyways and see if I can have it thrown out for improper service? Thank-you!
