Q: Why are people trying to serve papers at my door, possibly related to custody?
For the past year and a half, people have been coming to my door to serve papers, claiming to be looking for me. I have seen them on my Ring camera but haven't been able to answer. I have no ongoing legal issues and have received no written notices that could indicate what this is about. I suspect it may be related to a custody issue, as I haven't been able to see my son for years due to past conflicts with his father. Despite believing these attempts stopped for a while, they have started again. I want to understand why they persist in trying to contact me and what steps I should take to address this situation.

A:
The best way to find out what’s going on is to check with the clerk’s office in your county to see if there’s a lawsuit. Some counties have court records online, but if yours doesn’t, you’ll need to go in person.
