In less formal instances it can also refer to a party responding to a motion in a trial court matter as well. The term is not used to refer to a party answering an initial summons and complaint.


if a petition for visitation was filed a hearing was held but the respondent avoided being served and the law master gave the petitioner 120 days to locate her how does the petitioner get the process server to reserve the respondent ?

If the respondent does not want to be served, it is really not up to the petitioner to locate him. What the court wants is a concerted effort in locating the respondent so that later the respondent cannot say that no effort was made. Keep a journal of your efforts to show the court. Make an entry for every phone call, every address check, every mutual friend you talk to, every possible employer you contact, etc. You can relay this information then to the court as you learn about the individual's whereabouts, but it probably will not result in the individual being served.
