You could ask the sheriff's officers or process servers to do that. Tell the company you have hired that the person will be in court and the date, and they will serve it. You can't just hand the documents to the person, you have to have some record that the person received the documents. the sheriff's officer can bring the documents to the judge, and the judge would be able to provide the documents, and make a record that the documents are being handed to your spouse.
