Q: I filed for contempt of court to my husband who lives in Arizona. I don't have means to pay.
I have been awarded temporary maintenance which has not been met. I have to pay Arizona $ 100.00 to serve the papers. I am on a very limit income.
A: You can contact the applicable Sheriff's Office to see if there is a hardship/low income waiver available. I know that Colorado has a program for instate service, but I do not know about Arizona. You can also try reposting your question in the Arizona section of Justia (this question is filed in the Colorado section).

A: Unfortunately, contempt of court papers must be personally served. You are going to have to find someone to do it in AZ. If you have any family or friends there maybe they could do it for you. There is nothing prohibiting a friend from serving the other party. If not, there will unfortunately be a cost. You might keep calling around to see if you can find a cheaper process server in his area.
