I received a divorce summons with notice that was taped to my front door, but there was no knock on the door and no doorbell was rung. Is this proper procedure?

  • By: David Bliven

Q: My spouse and I owned a home. Sold it over a year ago and split whatever monies were left after paying off debt. Is she entitled to any of the portion of the money that was my split after the divorce.

A: Its possible the Judge authorized ‘substituted service” (which includes the summons being taped to your door), so at the least you should either check with the Court on this or consult an attorney. That said, all assets as they exist as of time of divorce filing are generally divisible 50-50. Call a Westchester Divorce Attorney to schedule a consult for a full assessment.
