Anyone who is 18 years or older and a resident of New York can serve your spouse if they are unwilling to sign. You could also use a process server company to perform the service. You must be aware that neither you nor children involved in the divorce can do the service of the divorce document. The court provides a window of 40 days for your spouse to respond, so we ask that you be ABSOLUTELY SURE that your divorce will proceed without a response from your spouse in those 40 days, because we CANNOT represent you in a contested (fought) divorce.
