Yes. A Petition, Summons and an Order to Show Cause, re: Contempt must be personally served.

No, you must hire someone to personally serve the divorce paperwork. If your husband is in another state, you will use a process server in the state or city where he resides.

An attorney of record (or someone over the age of 18, other than yourself) can serve an OSC by mail on the other party if the other party has already appeared in the case and if it is a pre-judgment OSC. Generally, an appearance is made by a party once the Petitioner files the Petition or the Respondent files a Response. If it is a post-judgment OSC, then personal service by a third party over the age of 18 is required. You should consult with counsel on these complicated issues. Good luck.
