Motion For Alternative Service

EX PARTE MOTION FOR ALTERNATIVE SERVICE and DECLARATION IN SUPPORT. This form is used in Oregon circuit courts when a party—typically the plaintiff or petitioner—is unable to serve legal documents to the opposing party through traditional means outlined by law, such as personal service or mail. This motion asks the court to authorize an alternative method of service that is most likely to notify the other party of the legal action. Acceptable methods may include email, social media, text message, fax, posting in a courthouse, publication in a newspaper, or service through the Oregon Judicial Department’s Online Legal Service Posting. The form requires a detailed declaration explaining the diligent efforts made to locate and serve the opposing party using conventional methods, why those attempts failed, and why the proposed alternative method is reasonable. It also outlines the specific documents to be served and affirms the truth of the statements made under penalty of perjury. www.FormsWorkflow.com
