Phoenix, AZ asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Arizona

Q: Where do I look for publications if someone is trying to notify me of a summons and don't know where to find me?

Someone has petitioned me for custody but has my whereabouts as unknown. So in order to serve me they would have to do a notify by publication I believe. But I have no idea where to look

A: Someone can publish in ANY periodical of general distribution, which could be some small publication you will never find.

I recommend going to superiorcourt.maricopa.gov and look under "case information." Put in your name and or the other person's name.

If you need help with the case, I recommend consulting with an experienced family law attorney.
