QUESTION
Can I notify my husband of a hearing date through certified mail?
Asked on Nov 06th, 2013 on Divorce - Rhode Island
More details to this question:
How do I serve my husband to let him know of a hearing date? I already had him serve throw a sheriff's office. He didn't appear in court. I went back and the judge set a date for the hearing and he told me to notify him of the hearing date.

Yes..most likely but if he refuses it. it may not be proper service. Review the local court rules on service of defaults and follow them.

Once the initial suit papers are served ( summons etc) by the Sheriff, then all future notices can be by regular mail. But the better practice to send by regular AND certified return receipt mailings.

I would use certified, return receipt requested as well as first class mail and any other reasonable method available to you. Sounds like you are doing this without an attorney which is generally NOT wise.

In Alaska you can serve him by certified mail. If you have had the sheriff's office before it may be worth using them again because they know where he is and you will be able to prove to the judge that he was in fact served.

You can just send the notification through regular mail unless the court specifically told you otherwise.

Yes, I would send it both certified and regular mail, with return receipt so that you can show you sent it.

If your husband has been served, all you need to do to notify him of a hearing date is mail him a copy of the Notice.

Since he has already been served by the sheriff, all you need to do is mail him a notice of the hearing and file a notice of service with the court.
