Proposed Order For Ex Parte Motion For Service By Mail {1F-P-186}

PROPOSED ORDER FOR EX PARTE MOTION FOR SERVICE BY MAIL. These forms are used in the State of Hawai‘i Family Court, First Circuit, in connection with an Ex Parte Motion for Service by Mail. The Proposed Order for Ex Parte Motion for Service by Mail is prepared and submitted by a party — either the plaintiff or defendant — who is asking the court for permission to serve legal documents (such as a divorce complaint, motions, and proposed orders) to the other party through mail instead of personal service. The party submitting the form can be self-represented or have an attorney, and must indicate how they want to receive a filed copy of the order, either by mail, by picking it up, or printing it from the court's online system. The Order Granting or Denying Ex Parte Motion for Service by Mail is the court’s response to that request. The judge reviews the motion and decides whether to allow service by mail. If granted, the order authorizes the party to send specified documents via registered or certified mail, requiring return receipt and delivery to the addressee only. The signed return receipt serves as proof that the documents were received, and this method of service is treated as legally equivalent to personal service by a process server. These forms are often used when direct personal service is difficult or impractical. www.FormsWorkflow.com
