Michigan Order for Alternate Service (MOSS) is a court order that requires a person to be served with legal documents in a manner other than in-person service. This process is used when a person cannot be personally served with legal documents. The MOSS allows for legal documents to be served via mail, publication, or other methods. It is most commonly used to serve divorce papers, eviction notices, or other documents to a person who cannot be located. There are three types of Michigan Order for Alternate Service: 1. Mail Service: Legal documents are sent by certified or registered mail. 2. Publication Service: Legal documents are published in a newspaper for a certain number of weeks. 3. Other Alternate Service: Legal documents are served in a manner other than in-person or by mail. This could include email, fax, or other approved methods.
