A: That's up to your lawyer, the process server and your spouse.

A: From the time of filing to the time of service can be days. Process servers are very good and find the defendants quickly

A: Service depends on several things and usually is done within a matter of days as noted by other counsel. However, if you are in a rush you can ask for rush service which will cost you extra.
