Just because you have not been served there may still be a case pending against you. Sometimes law offices and process servers get backed up. Some states also allow an article to be run in local papers notifying you if you cannot be found.

Reasons people get served papers?

Service of "papers" probably refers to legal documents advising a person of some court date or court action. Not all things you can get served with involve a response from you, but may simply be the advisement of the action and your options under the law. The "service" itself is a specific legal step and under some circumstances the person who performed the service may have to testify that it was done, for instance, in a divorce wherein you decided to stay home and not appear, the other party can move that the court proceed without you being present, since you were served with the papers and chose not to appear. The server may be calld upon to make a statement under oath that the papers were served.

When you fail to respond to divorce papers served by mail, the court issues what is known as a "default" in the case, for failure to respond. When a default is issued, the judge will more than likely grant the petitioner what they are asking for in the petition. A divorce and any assets or any other special consideration and custody.
