Who uses it
The person who served the document, such as the party, a friend or a process server [VERIFY: who may serve].
When to use it
After serving any court document, starting with the Plaintiff's Claim, which must be served within 6 months after it is issued (Rule 8.01(2)).
What you need
Tick each one off as you gather it. Nothing here is saved.
Tips
- Fill it out right after service, while the details are fresh.
- Complete a separate affidavit for each person served.
- File it with the court and keep a copy. You will need it for default judgment.
