What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OR
I am in Oregon, my husband is in Maine. We were married and resided in Maine, until I recently left him (last week). My family/entire support network is in Oregon, so thats where I went when I left. We have 1 young child (13 months old). He informed me that he has filed for divorce, and interestingly enough, asked me how I preferred to be served - by Certified mail, or by being served. I would like to avoid being served as I would like to file for divorce in Oregon, but need to be here for 6 months to establish residency. Can I avoid the papers for 6 months? He knows my address. If it IS possible or legal to avoid being served, how do I go about it? Just dont answer the door? Can the person serving papers actually tape them to the door and leave them?
Thanks for any advice.
