Q: I live in California and my husband is Canadian. How hard will it be to serve divorce papers to him in Canada?
We have no children and very little assets.
A:
Probably not real hard since the US and Canada get along fairly well politically-speaking. It would be different if, for example, your husband was in North Korea and you were in the US.
If your husband is in an urban part of Canada (e.g. metropolitan Vancouver), it should be fairly easy to find a process server to do the service. If he lives way in the northern remote parts of rural Canada, you can still probably find a process server, but you'll have less choice and, most likely, have to pay a lot more.
