Service of Process

How to notify the other side

After you file, the other party must be formally notified. This is called service of process. You generally cannot serve the papers yourself. In Indiana, courts typically use delivery arranged by the court or email service where the court allows it.

Who is allowed to serve

Courts accept service by a sheriff or constable, a professional server, the clerk via certified mail, or an adult who is not party to the case. Permitted methods and charges change by county.

When it must be done

How long before the hearing notice must be given is set by the court. That deadline arrives with your hearing date.

Recording the delivery

The person who delivered the papers signs a proof of service. That document goes to the court ahead of the hearing.

Service is where many self-filed cases stall. Squabble can coordinate professional Service of Process so it's done correctly and on time.

After a Judgment

Collecting after a judgment

Winning and being paid are two different things. The judgment records what is owed; collecting it is its own process, backed by court remedies that vary from state to state.

Garnishing wages

Wage garnishment, where the state permits it, sends part of the debtor's pay toward the judgment.

Levy on a bank account

With a bank levy, the court reaches funds held in the debtor's account directly.

Lien on property

Lodging the judgment with the county can create a lien over property the debtor owns.

You can also ask the court to order the debtor to appear and disclose income and assets under oath. An unpaid judgment generally keeps accruing interest at the rate state law sets until it's satisfied.

Carroll County and Miami County are the counties nearest to Cass County. Galveston, Lake Cicott and Logansport are among the Cass County places a judgment debtor may live in.
