Q: Can the Sheriff serve you a summons at your parent's house? Not my place of residency.

The sheriff did not leave anything. My father told me that the sheriff said that I can pick the summons up at a court house. Is this considered the proper way of severing someone with a summons to go to court. I'm assuming this is for a divorce. Thank in advance!
