Service in a Juvenile Court Action
Overview
Service in a North Dakota juvenile court action, also called service of process, requires delivery of the documents filed or intended to be filed on all other parties in the action.
The proof of service tells the juvenile court when, how, and where the other parties were served and the documents that were served. An affidavit of service gives the court proof of service.
If proof of service is not filed, the court will not take action on your case.
