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 Tennessee, courts typically use the sheriff or constable, email service where the court allows it, delivery arranged by the court or certified mail.
Depending on the court: the sheriff or constable, a professional process server, the clerk by certified mail, or another adult who isn't part of the case. Methods and costs vary by county.
Every court fixes a minimum number of days between service and the hearing. The clerk will tell you what it is for your case. Service must be served 15 days before hearing. Courts require original forms to be served.
A completed proof of service records who delivered the papers and when, and it is filed with the court beforehand.
