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. Courts in Montana generally rely on the sheriff or constable, email service where the court allows it, delivery arranged by the court or certified mail.
The options usually include a sheriff or constable, a licensed process server, certified mail sent by the clerk, or any adult with no stake in the case. What is allowed, and what it costs, differs from county to county.
Each court sets how far before the hearing the defendant must be served. The clerk confirms your deadline when the hearing date is set.
The person who delivered the papers signs a proof of service. That document goes to the court ahead of the hearing.
