How should legal separation papers be served?
My "husband" filed legal separation, his lawyer sent them through the normal mail, not certified. He knows exactly where I live and has my address and send me a 0 check every month. Is this a legal way to serve me. He is in New Mexico and I moved to Washington State he has several family members who live up here if that matters. He is in the military and I have heard the military doesn’t recognize legal separations? Is this true? Thank you for your help.

Well it depends if the papers are notarized. But no I don’t believe that’s legal. and as for the military not recognizing legal separations this is absolutely true, my soon to be husband is going through this too with his ex wife, he’s been legally separated from her for over a year and has been trying to get the divorce moving ahead but can’t get her to do anything on her part so in order to serve her with papers he had to go through a lot of hoops, especially through JAG and she has 3 months to respond, if not it needs to go to the court. I hope that helps!
