Once the case is on file, the law requires the other side to be told about it formally. That step is service of process, and the papers cannot normally come from your own hand. Courts in Wyoming generally rely on the sheriff or constable or email service where the court allows it.
Who may serve depends on the court: law enforcement, a paid process server, the clerk by certified mail, or a disinterested adult. Costs and rules are local.
How long before the hearing notice must be given is set by the court. That deadline arrives with your hearing date. Defendant must be served within 9-day window (3-12 days prior to hearing).
After delivery, the server fills out a proof of service, and that goes on the court file 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.
