You can serve someone court papers yourself, as long as you are not a party to the case and the service complies with your jurisdiction's rules. However, many people choose to have a sheriff or a professional process server do it to ensure that it is done correctly and to avoid any potential issues with the service being challenged in court. Always check local laws for specific requirements regarding service of process.

What happens in Indiana if you are sued for money and when the sheriff tries to serve you the papers you refuse to sign them?
The court will accept that the sheriff made a reasonable attempt to serve the defendant debtor. That being the case the lawsuit will go forward as it is presumed under the law that the defendant has been legally served regardless of the non acceptance/signing of the summons.
How do you serve divorce papers on someone from prison if the the court has put a no contact?
I believe the no contact is direct contact. Calling them or sending a personal letter. Divorce papers should come from the court and I don't think it would be considered contact. A lawyer could do it, but that costs. I think you file the papers with the court and they deliver them to the other person.
