If you file for divorce in Nashville, you will need to serve divorce papers to your spouse. Tennessee state law requires that you serve divorce papers to your spouse through personal service, which means, a third party with no attachment to the divorce case must personally hand the divorce documents to your spouse. Personal service is mandatory when you know your spouse’s location in Nashville. If your spouse is not personally served with divorce papers, the court will issue severe penalties which could jeopardize your divorce case.

Personal service of legal documents in Nashville can be done through a certified process serving company, such as ADI Tennessee Process. The ADI acronym stands for Assurance, Diligence, and Integrity. ADI Tennessee Process serves legal documents such as summonses, complaints, writs, and subpoenas. Once ADI is hired to serve your legal documents to a defendant or respondent, they will make three diligent attempts within five to seven days to serve the other party. Once the other party is served, ADI will give you a proof of service document that you will take to the court where your case is filed.

In addition, ADI Process offers their services at extremely competitive rates, so there is no reason not to try their service.
