A filed case still has to reach the defendant. Formal notice, known as service of process, does that, and delivering it personally is generally not allowed. In Kansas, courts typically use the sheriff or constable, email service where the court allows it, delivery arranged by the court or certified mail.
A sheriff, a constable, a professional server, the court clerk using certified mail, or an uninvolved adult can all serve papers, depending on local rules. Fees and permitted methods vary.
How long before the hearing notice must be given is set by the court. That deadline arrives with your hearing date. If D in KS: File where defendant resides because sheriff can only serve in filing county. For certified mail: USPS signature required, return receipt and signature card to defendant, then send to court.
Whoever serves the papers completes a proof of service, which is filed with the court before 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.
