Re: Divorce

If the opposing party has not been properly served and noticed by the time of the hearing, the court will probably continue it to a later date. If certified is left unclaimed, it is up to you or your counsel to have the papers served by regular mail. As long as those papers don't come back, service is deemed complete.
