How do I serve a someone with a divorce who has a disability or a person who is in a retirement home❓

It is important that the correct protocol is followed when serving documents on a person who has a disability or a person who resides in a retirement home. Rule 7.09 of the Family Law Rules 2004 (Cth) provides that a document that is required to be personally served on a person with a disability, must be served:

a) On the person’s case guardian;
b) On the person’s guardian appointed under a State or Territory law; or
c) If the person does not have a guardian as described above, on an adult who has the care of the person. This may include the person in charge of a hospital, nursing home or other care facility.

If an Acknowledgment of Service is required to be signed (such as in the case of personally serving an Application for Divorce), the person who is to be served on behalf of the person should make it clear on the Acknowledgement of Service that they have signed as the person’s case guardian, the person’s guardian, the person’s care taker or the person in charge of the relevant facility. The server must set out the circumstances of service in the Affidavit of Service e.g. handed/posted to the and amend the details of service to reflect the person served e.g. The person’s guardian.

How do I serve someone with a divorce or family court documents in prison❓

It can be difficult to serve a divorce or any other Family Court document on a person, especially if they are in prison. Rule 7.10 of the Family Law Rules 2004 (Cth) provides that a document that is required to be personally served on a prisoner must be served by special service on the person in charge of the prison (this is usually the Warden) on the person’s behalf.

If an Acknowledgment of Service is required to be signed (such as in the case of personally serving an Application for Divorce), the person in charge of the prison should make it clear on the Acknowledgement of Service that they have signed as “person in charge of the prison” and the server must set out the circumstances of service in the Affidavit of Service.

If you require documents to be served on a person in prison, please contact our friendly team for further information and how our team may assist you 📞

How do I serve a company with documents❓

The service of documents on companies is to be done so in accordance with the requirements in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Section 109X of the Corporations Act provides that documents can be served on a company by leaving it at, or posting it to, the company's registered office or by personally serving the documents on a director of the company who resides in Australia.

What happens if my ex-partner does not accept service of divorce documents ❓

We often have clients who are worried that their ex-partner will not accept service of divorce documents. Do not worry! To effectively serve divorce documents, the server must identify the recipient and either hand the documents to the recipient or, if the recipient refuses to accept the documents, put the documents down on the ground in the presence of the recipient and tell the recipient what the documents are.

The server will then complete an Affidavit of Service advising how service was effected i.e. by handing the documents to the recipient of placing them down on the ground in front of the recipient.

What documents do I need to serve for my divorce application? 🤔

We often get this question asked by our clients. If you filed your divorce application online on the Commonwealth Courts portal you will have to serve the other party with a sealed copy of the Application for divorce, a sealed copy of the Affidavit of eFiling, a copy of the Marriage, Families & Separation Brochure and any other documents that you may have filed online. The other party will also be required to sign a copy of the Acknowledgement of Service (Divorce) 📝
