What!? You're gonna keep your hands in yer pockets??? You've been served if you are AWARE of the service Bubela.
When a person is served civil papers they need to be the one that signs for them. A wife cannot accept the papers for their husband.
Yes the papers an be served in the state of California.
You can't refuse court served papers. Each state varies but service could be accomplished just by leaving the papers on the door of the persons house (provided the person serving the papers are authorized to do so).
You can refuse to accept them telling the server that you are not the defendant. If you already have the papers, send them back to the plainitff or attorney and state that you are not the defendant. You must not ignore this. If you do, plaintiff will get a default judgment against you and you will have to go to court to have it set aside. That will cost you money and a damaged credit history.
Today as divorce cases are on the increase in all the states including California , the papers will soon be served out as the pile of papers just increase and make it difficult for everybody.

Only if you want any say in the outcome.
If the person's whereabouts are known, he or she must be served the dissolution papers. If said person does not comply with an answer within the set time the filing party can request a divorce under the default laws of the state of residence.
I assume you mean a summons? a affidavit is created after the summons has been served, the affidavit is what goes to the courts after you have been served. There are three ways a person can be served papers. One is (personal hand delivery) two is (suitable age) which means anyone of or over the age of 15 in your household. and last is (taping to the door) after three attempts to serve you papers these are all reasonable means of being served atleast in my State.
In any state, only one spouse needs to sign the divorce papers and the other needs to be served legally per local laws.
No, he is not responsible until court papers are served. Also, he cannot pay if he doesn't know where they are.
On insurance papers, signed at state simply means the person who is purchasing the insurance signed the legal document. These usually need to be signed in front of a notary.
