I AM TRYING TO HAVE MY WIFE SREVED A SUMMONS TO APPEAR IN FAMILY COURT ON A SPOUSAL SUPPORT PETITIN, FILED BYME. THUS FAR THE COURT HAS MAILED HER 3 SEPERATE TIMES, WHIT NO REPLY. THE COURT JUDGE,TELLS ME NOW, THEY MUST HAVE A VERIFIABLE ADDRESS. IN THE PAST 2 DAYS, I WAS AVBLE TO GET HER P.O. BOX NUMBER. NOW MY QUESTION, IF THE COURT MAILS HER A REGISTERED LETTER, WILL IT BE CONSIDERD, SERVED, IF... THE POST OFFICE PUTS A NOTE IN HER P.O. BOX, ADVISING HER THAT THEY DO HAVE THIS LETTER, FOR HER TO COME TO THE COUNTER, AND SIGN FOR IT????? I AM TOLD BY POSTAL AUTHORITIES, THIS IS THERE PROCEEDURE. HOWEVER, IF SHE DOES SIGN FOREIT, THEN, IT SEEMS ASTHOUGH THAT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. AM I CORRECT, OR IS THERE SOME LEGAL LOOP HOLE I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT? i am in n.y. state. she is in indiana THANK YOU KINDLY FOR YOUR TIME.
