Who can serve ? You can hire a professional process server or have a friend or family member serve the divorce papers. You, however, can NOT serve the papers to your ex yourself.

You must serve your husband personally with a copy of the divorce papers. This means someone neutral and not involved in your divorce case must hand-deliver the divorce documents to your husband in person. The server can serve your husband anywhere ? at work, or home.

When you file for a dissolution of marriage in Colorado and the court finalizes the petition, the filing becomes public record.
