My son is out of state his x is trying to modify child custody order but they have not been able to serve him. This is last docket entry. What does it mean?
Laws/statutes usually give a party trying to sue another party a certain number of days to have the second party service with the legal papers (in this case the modification of child support). If the petitioning party finds another address to serve him, the clerk will issue a second summoms for the different address.
If she does not have another address to have the second "alias summons" (really meaning a new summons with another address), issued then the Court will dismiss the case, and she will have to refile a new modification petition when she finds a better address for your son to have him served.
Hope this helps.
