Asked on May 27th, 2015 on Divorce - Washington
More details to this question:
I was served divorce papers from my wife in Washington State but every time she wrote her name she used my last name as her own even though she never legally changed her last name and still has her maiden name. Does this make these papers null and void or still legally acceptable?

Unless she personally handed you the papers service is good.

Service on you is improper because she cannot serve you as a party, only a disinterested person 18 years of age or older can serve you.
