If the case has already begun and you are a party, you don't need to be "served" but "noticed". If you have an attorney, he should be the one who gets the letter or fax (if agreed to) to provide notice but if you are not represented by council, you would. A letter would be proper notice.
Did you check Minnesota law before posting this ???
In most states, after a Judgment is entered, the client must be served, not the attorney.
Also, parties have to be served (sometimes, served with 'Notice" of hearing, etc).
OP, they have to
serve you with whatever paperwork they filed with the court. If I were you, I'd go down to the courthouse (or have a friend go) and review the file. You can check on whatever Motion may have been filed and what they are requesting.
Get your Court case number from your prior Judgment and get ye to the courthouse.
The important thing about 'service' is that some people fib (including attorneys, by stating they did serve the party, whether personally or by mail, with all docs filed with the court).
The court may enter a default Judgment (give the party who appeared whatever they requested), even though they may not have served the other party.
Watch out for your own interest. Don't get sidetracked on whether service was proper (never mind WHAT was served).
It's too time-consuming and expensive to file a motion to set-aside a Judgment & sometimes a Judge will believe that service was good, ergo the default stands.
Cover your butt and check the court file. If the file isn't readily available, the clerk can tell you what Motions were filed and what hearing dates may be pending.
